Farmhouse. Probably C16, much altered. Rendered timber framing, brick, and
limestone rubble; plain-tile roof with brick gable stacks. T-plan. 2 storeys.
Front has, to right, a Tudor-arched stone doorway, with recessed spandrels and a
central keyblock, retaining original studded plank door; central 3-light
casement with 2-light casement above; to left, the projecting gable wall of the
cross wing is rubble at ground floor, with some rendered timber framing above,
and has a projecting chimney. A post survives in the angle of the projecting
wing. To extreme right, in an outbuilding, are fragments of further bays of the
original house, of which the massive open fireplace survives on the right gable
wall of the existing house. Rear has further casements and the first floor of
the cross wing is in rendered timber framing. Interior not inspected, but noted
as containing panelling. Brick garden walls, to north-east are in English bond
and have chamfered plinth and lengths of 2-course stone coping with apex roll.
Probably an ancillary building of the destroyed Ascott House.
