Description

Farmhouse of the early and later C17, possibly including earlier work. Timber framed, refaced with colourwashed brick on the main SE elevation. Two storeys and attics. The house appears to be of 2 builds, the N end as far as the stack the earlier. Plan now consists of a central stair hall with stack serving rooms in the later, perhaps rebuilt, structure to right (S). To the rear a 1-bay wing, probably contemporary with the first build. The parlour end has a further rear parlour in the angle, forming an 'L'-wing with rear gable stack, and a kitchen added to the rear of the service wing. Outbuilding on S end now sheltering the secondary entrance.

Central door boarded with heavy frame within an open C19 gabled canopy. C19 timber two and 3-light windows, those to the ground floor with transoms, stone sills and segmental heads. One gabled dormer at parlour end. Front refacing brickwork is also constructed in two phases. South gable end is jettied both at first floor and tie beam level, although now underbuilt and mostly covered. Carved brackets carry jetty beam moulded with 3 ovolos parted by quirks (visible within the outbuilding), posts have hanging rope carvings, and the tie beam has incuse squares with quadrant 'brackets' forming a type of strapwork, the lower arris chamfered and cut with chevron decoration. Blocked window in gable. Some close studding seen on the early rear wing.

Central stair hall has main framed trusses either side and contains the late C17 stair of one flight with straight splat balusters. Main parlour has twin deeply moulded spine beams with cut stops. Collar beam trusses in attic with 2 tiers of purlins. On the first floor, a passage from end to end.
