Rear of main range has planked door to left, two C20 casements to right, wall plate with mortices on soffit, of former timber-framed wall is retained above rubble stone facing. Extension is also partly rebuilt in stone with planked door and 2-light casements to eyebrow dormers, rear gable has pair of diagonally-set brick stacks, coped verge. Interior has deeply chamfered beams with stepped stops; west beam on stone corbel in passage, wing has beam with narrower chamfers and ogee stops, blocked open fireplaces, planked doors with strap hinges, roof not accessible but said to be intact. This house represents an unusual survival of the through passage plan in this area; the hall was to the right of the passage, separated by a rubble stone wall which supports the main stack of the now blocked open fireplace backing onto the passage, services were to the left of the passage and additional accommodation was provided by the square timber-framed extension in later C17.
