Exterior: 2 storeys, 3 bays, 2 and 3-light casements with close-set glazing bars, 4

style, further triple-light sash window to extreme right on the ground floor,
glazing bars. Door opening to right into the C18 stair-hall. C20 glazed door.
Interior: hall with narrow fireplace with an unchamfered bressumer, axial ceiling

Lower room rebuilt with an axial ceiling beam, again without a chamfer and stop;
small offset fireplace to the gable wall, unchamfered wooden bressumer. C18
entrance hall with simple dog-leg staircase, ramped toadsback handrail, stick
balusters with a large square newel. First floor with a C18 door with fielded
panels. Roof all replaced with simple collar beam trusses in the C18, mortised
ridge, 2 rows of purlins; rafters of an earlier roof have-been reused, but no
trusses visible so it is impossible to date former structure.
