House now outbuilding. C16 and C17. Timber frame clad in coursed squared stone. Single storey, three bay aisled hall with added two-storey aisled cross-wing.

North front: hollow-chamfered mullioned windows throughout. Hall has C19 door to bay one; to bay two a two-light window (mullion removed) and a blocked chamfered, quoined, Tudor-arched doorway; gabled bay three with a chamfered arched light, a two-light window (mullion removed) and to right an inserted door. Wing on right has C19 door on right of blocked three-light window with two-light window above, all mullions removed.

Rear: cart-entry and former three-light window on right with two C19 windows above; aisle breaks forward to left with a five-light window (mullions removed); cross-wing has a tall blocked four- or five-light window with three-light,window above and base of external stack on left.

Right return (cross-wing): a two-light window on left.

Interior: hall: aisle posts with curved braces to aisle-plates and tie-beams; south aisle mid-rail has mortice in soffit for panelling below and retains studs with wattle and daub above. Truss on left has stone-walled infill and king post with V struts. Central truss has king-post sawn off and replaced by queen struts. Truss against cross-wing has mortices for panelling and, above tie-beam, for both V and upright struts, the king-post again sawn off. The different sets of mortices show the truss was closed in two different ways during its history. There is a gap between this truss and the studding of the cross-wing wall which suggests two different builds. Cross-wing: in rear room lateral chamfered quoined fireplace with massive lintel.
