Farmhouse. Early C18 origin, altered and enlarged c1797, when main entrance was
moved from the north to the south front. Brick walls, thatched roof. Brick stacks
with oversailing courses. Two storeys with attics and cellars. Original plan
rectangular with small projecting wings at each end of the south front, and a lower
service wing on the west. c1797 the south-east wing was enlarged, the service wing
extended to the north, and a further service block added at the south-west angle -
thus destroying the original symmetry and producing quite a picturesque irregular
composition. North facade has a flush panel door slightly west of its original

two double-hung sash windows with glazing bars. Plat band at first floor level.

wing - rebuilt 1797 has a square bay window on the ground floor with double-hung
sashes with glazing bars. Plain double-hung sash with glazing bars above this.

double-hung sash window with glazing bars on ground floor and an altered window on
first floor. Plat band at first floor level.
