C17 origin. Purbeck Stone walls. Purbeck Stone roofs. Ashlar stone stacks with
moulded string courses and caps. Main range has a stone porch - probably a later
addition, with round arched doorway. Ground floor has one 3-light stone mullioned
window, two 2-light stone mullioned windows, and one single-light window with
arched head. First floor has three 2-light mullioned windows, and one small window,
probably originally lighting a stair or closet. All the mullioned windows are
renewals. Large buttress at north-east end. Two-storeyed wing at the rear. Part
of this appears contemporary with the main range - extended in C18. This wing has
modern wood casement windows, some with cast iron diagonal glazing. The wing is
continued to form a barn, at a slightly lower level, all in Purbeck Stone. At the
west end of the main range is a 2-storeyed section, roofed at right angles to the
main range -possibly the surviving portion of an earlier house (RCHM). Interior
considerably modernised.
Note: Apart from the attached barn described, the farm buildings are recent, or
much altered, and not listable. RCHM Monument 78.
