front and left-hand return. Slate roof with ashlar and brick
stacks. 'U'-shaped plan. Two storeys and attic. 1:3:1
windowed entrance front with gables projecting forwards right and
left. Single-light, 2, 3 and 5-light hollow-chamfered stone-
mullioned casements (probably C19 replacements) with leaded panes
and stopped hoods. C19 fielded 6-panel door at rear of a flat-
roofed open-sided flat-roofed porch off-centre left. Three-

Interior not accessible but according to the Victoria County
History a two-storey stone hall block of c1600 with indications of
a screens passage at the west end remains at its centre. This

east. The house lies on a moated site.
