Description
This is a large, L-shaped house, with the oldest sections dating to the 17th century or earlier, originally timber-framed but later refaced. The main, or entrance, front faces north and was refaced in the 18th century. It has two storeys and three windows, constructed of red brick with a wooden dentilled cornice and a brick parapet. Original glazing bars are intact. A two-storeyed porch features a four-centred stone doorway covered by a Horsham slab roof. The south front of the east wing has been more recently refaced with modern brick and tiles and has modern windows, with a gable at the east end. The south end of the south wing is of a higher elevation and dates to the 18th century, featuring two storeys and an attic, along with two windows. This section is built of red brick with a tile-hung, half-hipped gable. It has two sash windows with glazing bars on the first floor and French windows below with semi-circular fanlights. Within the garden to the east of this wing is a medieval stone archway with two cinque-foil-headed divisions and a stone mullion. A similar archway is located in the front garden. These arches were originally windows from the south aisle of the demolished parish church.
