Description
This is a detached house incorporating elements from the 15th, 16th, 17th centuries, and the late 18th to mid-19th centuries. The original core is blue lias stone on the ground floor, with close-studded timber-framing and struts above. Later extensions are in brick, with some areas exhibiting remnants of earlier square-panelled timber-framing, and a late 19th-century kitchen extension in blue lias. Stone slate roofs cover the 15th and 16th-century sections, while the rest are covered in concrete tiles. Brick stacks are present.
The building's plan is based around a rectangular 15th-century range running east to west, with 16th-century additions on the north and south sides. A projecting stack sits in the north-west angle between the wings. Subsequent extensions have been added to the south gable, alongside a late 19th-century kitchen extension set at a right angle. The 15th and 16th-century main body stands two and three stories high; the rest of the house is two stories.
The east front features a late 19th-century kitchen extension projecting to the left. A lean-to entrance on the ground floor partially obscures the original timber-framing. The fenestration of the 15th and 16th-century section is irregular, featuring a 4-light stone-mullioned casement with a transom on the ground floor, and three- and 4-light wood-mullioned casements with transoms projecting slightly from the facade on the upper floors. The west gable has a cusped barge board, the left-hand board dating from the 15th century. A 20th-century plank door is set beneath a gabled open-sided porch. The jettied north gable has 1, 2, and 3-light casements. The west gable projects, featuring barge boards with vine scroll decoration and carvings of what appear to be rodent-like creatures at the base of each board. Short braces at eaves level display foliate decoration. Decorative barge boards and carved braces likely date from a 16th-century remodelling. Some of the cross members on the west gable are moulded. All windows in the 15th and 16th-century main body have been replaced with 20th-century windows with leaded panes.
The late 18th and mid-19th-century extensions on the right (when viewed from the west) have 2- and 3-light casements with flat-arched heads, and a 20th-century plank door within a Tudor-arched brick surround with a limestone keystone. Twin diagonal flues rise from the projecting stack in the north-west angle of the 15th and 16th-century main body. The interior is not accessible, but according to Verey, the roof of the 15th-century range is largely intact, consisting of four bays with arch-braced collars, upper and lower purlins, and curved wind braces.
