Description
A farmhouse, now a house, likely dating from the 17th century, with alterations and additions from the 19th century and around 1925. The building is timber-framed with brick additions, sections rendered, and clay tile roofs, featuring brick ridge and end stacks.
The original building, with a gable end facing the street, consisted of two box-framed bays, with a single-bay box-framed bay added to the northwest. A 19th-century brick extension faces the street to the southeast, creating an L-shaped layout, and a block was added around 1925 forming the angle between the two earlier ranges.
The northwest-facing timber-framed range is 1½ storeys high, featuring large rectangular panels with a mid-rail on a brick plinth. The lower part of the frame in this section is partly reinforced or replaced with brick. The northwest front has a 20th-century door to the left of a 12-pane sash window and a wide, multi-paned casement window. The roof to the left has a ridge stack, with two windows above; the right window is a 12-pane sash. A gabled dormer with a 2-light casement window sits to the right. The gable end has two 2-light wooden casements on each floor. The southeast front has a 20th-century door and a gabled dormer with two lights. Jowled posts are visible. Beam ends from a raised floor in the end bay are exposed: those to the southeast are raised above the mid-rail, indicating a floor level alteration.
The southeast addition is two storeys high, with three bays and rendered walls. It has gable end stacks. The windows were likely replaced around 1925. A former central doorway has been removed and replaced with a circular window. To the left is a polygonal bay window with casement openings and a "timber-framed" gable above. Other windows are sash windows, with the right-hand window on the first floor being shorter. The patterned glazing bars incorporate rectangular and diamond-shaped panes. The return to the southwest has a V-plan window with similar glazing bar details on the ground floor, and a single light window above.
The southwest front of the 1925 addition features a pent roof enclosing the entrance door and surround, with decorative leaded glazing to the right of a square bay window with glazing bar detail similar to the southeast front. The first floor has a 3-light window with a projecting V-plan centre. There is tile-hanging in the gable above and a side wall stack to the left.
The interior retains substantial parts of the timber frame to collar level, including internal partitions with tie-beams, queen struts, collars, and purlins. The rafters were recently renewed, likely when the roof was raised over the northwest bay. A stone flag floor is present in the southeast bay of the timber-framed section. There are some 19th-century fireplaces, shutters, cupboards, and doors in the southeast addition, with fittings dating from around 1925 elsewhere.
It is a largely intact 17th-century house with later additions that forms a group with the adjoining barn.
