Farmhouse. Circa early C16 with circa 1600 wing and extensive alterations and additions. Rendered stone and possibly some cob. Concrete tile roof with gabled ends. 3-room plan, almost certainly originally with cross or through-passage which is now altered. Circa 1600 rear (north) wing forming L-plan with C20 single storey extensions, and C20 porch in the angle. Truncated internal lateral hall stack at front. Stack at right hand (east) gable end of main range and another large external stack at gable end of rear wing. 2 storeys. South front irregular 4- window range. All C20 casements. Original doorway blocked and position concealed by render. Present entrance in rear wing and C20 porch in the angle. Interior: Main range has early C16 4-bay roof, left hand (west) end (possibly lower end) rebuilt in C20. The other 3 bays have 3 trusses with threaded purlins, diagonal ridge side-pegged morticed collars, centre collar over hall is cranked. Most of the rafters survive. The 2 bays over the hall heavily smoke-blackened and the end trusses of the hall are closed with smoke-blackened plaster. The central hall truss is a cruck, possibly a jointed cruck, but the feet of the other 3 trusses are not visible. The inserted lateral hall stack's truncated top is visible in roof space. A chamfered ceiling beam with step stop is partly visible at the left hand (west) end. The wing has principals with threaded purlins and diagonal ridge piece. The principals are morticed for collars but the present collar is lap-jointed. Some rafters survive. Roof timbers of wing are not smoke-blackened.
