Description

This is a two-storey red brick farmhouse, dating from the medieval period with a 19th-century extension. The brickwork is laid in an irregular bond, and it is topped by a slate roof with red brick chimney stacks centrally placed and at the gable end. The ground floor windows are casement windows with cambered heads and voussoirs, while a three-light window is situated on the ground floor to the left. The off-centre-vertical joint marks the division between the original, sub-medieval building and the 19th-century addition, which may have been a separate cottage originally. A gabled, ogee-arched porch is above the lobby-entry door on the left of the joint. There is a boarded door and a lean-to at the right, with a further door within it. The buttressed gable end has two windows. A deep kitchen lean-to extends from the rear.

The main doorway opens onto a long lobby to the side of the main chimney. The house was probably originally comprised of three units. The timber frame is most visible at the far left end. The inner room retains broadly-framed square-framing and a partition screen with two doorways, one of which is now blocked and has a pointed door-head. This room also retains an early window, which is one of the house's most significant features. This is a 3-light window with diamond-mullions, mirrored on the first floor. The hall originally had a five-light window, with a similar window lighting the chamber above, the latter of which retains projecting sills supported by deep, shaped brackets. The presence of these windows on two levels indicates it was built as a storeyed house. The original timber-framed rear wall, containing these windows, is preserved beneath the later 19th-century kitchen lean-to. Otherwise, the beams and roof structure were largely replaced in the 19th century. A steep staircase leads to the rear, and the interior features boarded doors and a cellar.
