Possibly circa 1200. Small house with 2 bay formerly open hall. Timber frame
exposed in places, hipped roof thatched and with an eyebrow dormer on north and
a central red brick chimney stack. Two eyebrow dormers on south and various
wooden casement windows, and a storeyed bag at one end. This was extended 2
bays, probably during the C14 and laterally divided through its 3 central bays
resulting from the extension, in the late C16. Timber framed throughout with
daub infill and plastered. It is at present the only recorded and substantially
complete example of its type known in England. The framing was in the first
build entirely assembled by open notched lap-joints (38 in number) and the
passing-brace on the end-wall relate directly to the earliest frames in Hesse.
The plan measures 20 x 23 feet on the ground. Some original unglazed windows
survive. The roof is thatched. Some re-used timbers of the first build appear
to be Saxon and incorporate lap-joint sockets that have no notches.
