Wing on right half height of main block: lean-to at eaves level extends across gable. Left return one 6-pane sash window per floor, lower with cambered brick arch. Tall, tapering brick chimney on ridge, wing wall beyond links ridge to 3-storey block: roof beyond hipped. Internally, wing on right, hollow-chamfered beam to ground floor. Room beyond 2 aisle posts for what appears to have been an open hall, linked at first floor by arcade plate, mortices for braces survive, but no evidence for any infill: most of the tie beams survive, with curved brace between one and its main post. Present external wall built within presumed aisle. Large, square stone base to chimney. Roof above rebuilt, truss to front of chimney tie beam, collar and angled struts: evidence of smoke blackening on some reused rafters. Rare survival of a medieval house.
