Farmhouse. Circa 1830, some parts may be earlier. Plastered brick on stone rubble
footings; brick stacks and some C19 chimney pots; slate roof.
L-shaped house with main block facing south and having a 2-room plan with central
staircase and end stacks. 2-room plan service block at right angles to rear of left
(western) room and contains projecting inner lateral stacks and end stack. 2
storeys.
Symmetrical 3-window front. Apparently the ground floor windows were originally 20-
pane sashes and those on the first floor 16 pane sashes but were partly mended with
larger panes after bomb blast damage in 1944. The central doorway contains plain
panelled double doors with a doorcase having panelled pilasters, a segmental arch
and short flat hood. Plain eaves and roof is hipped both ends. The outer (western)
face of the rear block has a 3-window front of casements with glazing bars and a
secondary door with C20 gabled and slate-roofed porch. The inner face contains a 12
pane sash. A woodshed lean-to to rear of the main block includes 2 reused C17 oak 3-
light window frames with chamfered mullions.
Interior not available for inspection at time of survey but is said to include much
original joinery detail including the stair.
