House. Circa 1500, altered in C20. Timber framed, plastered, roof thatched. 3

storeyed parlour/solar bay to the S, and a storeyed service bay to the N.
Inserted chimney stack in NE corner of hall. C20 extension to N, extending to
W, forming an L-plan. One storey. W elevation, 3 C20 casements. Roof half-
hipped at right. The entrance is in the S side of the C20 wing. Jowled posts,
heavy studding, edge-halved and bridled scarf in W wallplate. The ground floor
has been much altered, but above the ceiling the structure survives intact. The

thatching laths are smoke-blackened from end to end, indicating a former smoke-
