Description

A house of approximate L-plan comprising 2-storey main range and 2½-storey cross wing, of hand-moulded brick with slate roof and brick stacks. Windows are wood-framed casements. The front faces SE and comprises the main range, with dentil eaves course, and cross wing on the R. The entrance on the R side of the main range has a wooden porch incorporating latticework, and a panel door with small-pane overlight. To its L is a 3-light window. The upper storey has a similar 3-light window and 1-light window over the entrance. The cross wing has 3-light segmental-headed windows in each storey.

The cross wing (NE) side wall has an external brick stack set back from the L end, with rebuilt upper section, in front of which is a 1-storey projection with door and window. To its R is a second, inserted, entrance comprising a segmental-headed doorway with later door. It is within an shallow open lean-to porch enclosing a 2-light window on the R, above which is a 2-light window. Further R is a full-height joint indicating rear extension of the wing, beyond which is an inserted 2-light and a 3-light window, and 2-light upper-storey window.

The rear gable end of the cross wing has two 2-light attic windows above a lean-to with blocked doorway in its L side wall. This wall is raised, with coping, where it faces the farmyard. The opposite side wall of the wing has an outshut with inserted French doors, casement window to the R and 2-light window in the upper storey. The rear wall of the main range has 3-light windows in each storey.

The main range incorporates a single aisle truss with complex moulded posts, arched brace, above which are cusped crown post (a modern reinstatement) and raking struts. At the opposite end close-studding to the dais end truss is exposed. The main range also has a C19 king-post truss and cusped windbraces, also renewed in the C19. In the N wing is a single arched-brace truss (partly obscured by a partition).
