Farmhouse. Circa 1790 with probably late C19 alterations. Whitewashed and rough
cast except for the brick left end wall; thatched roof, half-hipped at ends; end
stacks with tall brick shafts.
Cottage orne style with a remarkably pretty front elevation. 4 room double depth
plan to main range, probably with a central passage and stair hall, the principal
rooms to the front and rear service rooms. The left end wall may have been rebuilt
in the late C19 or C20 and a flat-roofed single storey rear addition with an
extremely tall chimney shaft is probably a late C19 kitchen addition.
2 storeys. 3-bay symmetrical front elevation with a very steeply-pitched roof, the
eaves thatch carried out round the 2-storey left and right bows. 6-panel front door
with 4 fielded panels above the middle rail, flush panels below, a flush panelled
soffit to the doorcase and a semi-circular fanlight with fine spoke glazing bars.
Each bow has 3 sash windows to the ground floor, 3 to the first floor with arched
heads. The top panes in each sash window have been filled in and are decorated with
a small quatrefoil giving the impression of paired lights. The first floor sash
window above the front door is smaller and has a variation in the same arrangement of
glazing bars. A single-storey lean-to adjoins the right end; this formerly had a
blocked window with an ogee dripmould N.M.R. photograph, 1948 which no longer exists.
A barn at right angles to the lean-to and projecting to the front formerly had 3
blocked pointed arches (1948 list description) on the side facing the garden in front
of the house. The blocked arches no longer exist. The barn has 3 old windows, 1
with chamfered mullions and 2 fireplaces, 1 with stone chamfered jambs and an arched
timber lintel. Some crossbeams survive with scroll and step stops.
Interior: C20 grates to front rooms, partition wall between left hand rooms removed.
C18 door, probably re-sited, with fielded panels, in rear addition. Interior not
thoroughly inspected and other features of interest may survive.
