House. Early C16. One-and-a-half storeys; basic 3-cell plan. Timber-framed
and rendered with thatched roof. 3 C20 3-light casement windows with a single
bar to ground storey; 3 gabled dormers with 2-light single-bar casement
windows. C20 plank door. An internal chimney-stack with a plain red brick
shaft, and 2 end chimney-stacks. Framing exposed inside: some replacement
studding, housings for diamond-mullions; in the main 2-bay room a plain, heavy
ceiling with joists set flat, and some indications in the upper room of
alterations: a tie-beam and brace removed. The ceiling may be a later
insertion. In the partition wall to the south, the remains of an arched
doorway, blocked, and indications of another doorway. In the one-bay room at
the south end, the joists are thin and set on edge, either as a replacement or
a later insertion. All the ceilings are very low. At the north end, an C18
bay was added obscuring the original gable end, but the upper part of the
gable is visible inside with the remains of C17 roughcast and pargetting: 3
panels with a 'tree of life' motif, and part of a roundel.
