Description
The property is a house, likely originating as a timber-framed hall-house from the 15th century. A ceiling and chimneystack were added in the late 16th century. The house was then refaced and extended by one bay to the north in the early 19th century, with 20th-century additions and alterations following. The front elevation is faced in sandstone rubble with galleting and a brick stringcourse and window dressings. It has a hipped tiled roof with gablets and a late 16th-century ribbed brick chimneystack. There are three casement windows with cambered architraves on the ground floor, and a later lean-to is situated to the right-hand side. The left side features a 20th-century projecting timber-framed gable with plastered infill. The rear elevation is a mix of stone rubble on the ground floor and a timber-framed first floor, predominantly square framing with one curved tension brace. Four casement windows are present, some original early 19th-century metal casements with early 19th-century pegged architraves. A two-story 20th-century addition is located to the southwest, constructed of red brick on the ground floor, tile hanging on the first floor, and a tiled roof, with two casement windows. Inside, the kitchen features a ceiling beam with run-out stops and a section of exposed wattle and daub. The dining room has thick wall framing from around 1600, including a mid rail, a ceiling beam with a 3-inch chamfer and lamb tongue stops, and floor joists with similar decoration. An adjoining room has chamfered ceiling beams suggesting an earlier date. The staircase incorporates three re-sited early 17th-century oak newel posts with polyhedron finials. The first floor has massive jowled posts, all with triangular steps, and some curved tension braces. The property has an angled queen strut roof. A plank door provides access.
A separate section of the building is an 18th-century long stone building with red brick dressings and a stringcourse, and a hipped tiled roof. It features casement windows and a modern addition at the south end imitating timbering with a gable. It is two stories high and has four windows.
