To right of door, hollow string moulding, carried round projecting east wing, probably early C17 work. Rear wing also at west end, 2 bays, 2-storey mid C19, of diaper brickwork and slated roof. Central 4-panelled door with overlight and 3-light segmental headed windows. Interior: Central bays have large stone stack with stone moulded fireplace to ground floor, and ballflower in each spandrel. Internal timber framed partition forming screen to cross passage, clad in C19 panelling. Stone fireplace reset to east drawing room. Moulded oak doorcase on first floor to upper parlour, fully panelled, with some original scumbled graining, restored in the rest of the room. Roof with windbraces to purlins, and east wing of four bays, also windbraced. The house probably occupies the site of a cell of the alien priory of St Victoire en Caux. The house was probably erected by a cadet branch of the Goddard family who acquired the manor in 1562. The extension may be the 'new dwelling house' of 1689.
