1. C16, largely rebuilt in early C19, and again in mid C19. Farmhouse. Partly timber- framed. Nodular flint with galleting: west elevation knapped flint. Pulborough stone dressings: west elevation has dressings of yellow brick. Hipped slate roof with overhanging eaves. 1 red brick chimney, probably C16: remainder yellow brick. 2 storeys. Yellow brick modillion eaves cornice on all sides except west. All that remains from C16 are some internal timbers and floorboards, some internal wattle-and-daub walls, the red brick chimney breast, and (possibly) the embrasures of a canted bay window on both storeys of the north elevation. These are ashlar, and consist of three 4-centred arched lights to the front, and 1 in each flank. Hollow chamfers to embrasures and arches. At least 3 mason's marks on ground floor windows, and at least 1 on 1st floor. Iron casements and lead glazing bars are mid-C19, as is wall which surrounds these windows. West elevation early C19. 3 double-hung sash windows with glazing bars on 1st floor and 2 on ground floor, flanking doorway with 2 Tuscan pilasters, entablature and pediment. Door in plain reveals up 3 limestone steps: 6 fielded panels; top 2 glazed. East elevation mid C19. But incorporates 4 C18 iron casement windows with lead glazing bars. 1 extension of 1 storey to east with lean-to slate roof and moulded eaves cornice of ashlar (possibly a C16 relic). One 6-panelled door (partly glazed) with mid C19 letter box. South elevation masked by 1-storey scullery extension. Hipped slate roof. 1 planked door and one 4-light iron casement with diagonal lead glazing bars.
