A C15 timber-framed and plastered house, originally a hall house with crosswings
at the north and south ends. The hall was divided into 2 storeys in the C16
when 2 gables were inserted between the crosswings. Later, a further wing was
added at the south end of the house. It was re-fronted in the early C19 when
the present fenestration was inserted. 2 storeys. The upper storey is Jettied
with a coved soffit under the window sill level to the 3 central gables. The
south wing has a deeper jetty also with a cored soffit. The gables project slightly

a triglyph frieze and a cornice. A C19 addition projects at the rear, with C20
alterations. Roof tiled. The interior has exposed timber- framing and a fine
