Description
A house, originally a farm building, now divided into three cottages, was largely constructed in the 16th century, with additions in 1620 and the 18th century. It is built of rubble stone with stone tile roofs. The building has an "L" shape, with the original section facing south, extended to the west in 1620, and a rear wing added to the northeast in the 18th century. It is two storeys high with an attic.
The south front has a coped east end gable with a saddle stone, two ridge stacks (one rebuilt), and a rebuilt west end wall stack. The five-window front, from right to left, includes a two-light chamfered mullion window, a 20th-century door and window, two two-light ovolo-mullion windows with hoods, a renewed 12-pane sash with a modern dormer gable above, a principal door in a cyma-moulded surround with a stone slab enclosed porch, and a 20th-century French window, followed by a two-light ovolo-mullion window and a hood set within a stone gable. An east end gable features a two-light Tudor arched mullion window, likely reused.
The north side has a full-height six-light window arranged in three tiers of two-light ovolo-mullioned windows; the centre pair are blocked, apparently a hall light constructed from reused pieces. To the right are a two-light window over a 20th-century window, then a gable with two-light ovolo-mullion windows with hoods on each floor, and a small single-light stone ground floor window at the end.
The rear wing is attached to the northeast corner of the original range and has a coped south gable with a saddle stone and a north end brick wall stack. The east side of the wing has cyma-moulded mullion windows with hoods, three-light to the ground and first floors; the south end has a two-light window to the attic, and a very small single light first floor window to the west side.
The interior of the main range appears to be a two-bay cruck framed open hall house with raised cruck trusses; some bases are visible, and the central truss is largely concealed save for the collar. An inserted floor has a broad chamfer and stop to the beams. The unheated east end has heavy floor joists. A moulded upright post is visible on the west side of the present party wall. A large room in the west end has ovolo-moulded wall beams and spine beams. There is an inglenook fireplace with a timber lintel spanning a small doorway to the right of the fireplace, with the inscribed date 1620.
