1. Probably early C17, using stout timbers salvaged from an earlier building. Reigate stone basement, timber framed above, partly brick-filled and partly hung with old pointed tiles giving a recticulated pattern. Roof and part of walls now covered in corrugated iron. C19 casements with glazing bars. Original door space on ground floor shown by break in sole plate, but now bricked up and entrance is a half glazed door in basement. Alteration probably circa 1840 when staircase inserted and grates modernised. Originally one room on each floor; little side rooms now partitioned off, one using imported Cl7 wainscoting. Stone fireplace with moulded flattened Tudor arch. Queen-post and side-purlin roof. Large projecting chimney on south end, of Reigate stone with big quoins and offsets now mostly rendered.
