A late C15 timber framed 3 bay house with additions of the mid C16 and Cl7. Two
storeys. Red brick on the ground floor and tile hung above but some exposed
timbering. Half-hipped tiled roof. Four casement windows. In the late C15 the
central bay of the house was an open hall with a crown post roof. The rafters over
the hall are smoke blackened. In the mid C16 2 bays were added to the north end.
At this time the hall was floored over and a smoke bay made in the middle of the
5 bays. The plaster face in the roof is soot-blackened. Tension braces are present
in all the internal trusses. The chimney which serves rooms on both sides was
probably added in the second half of the C17.
