Large house of Elizabethan appearance on the outside although there is much
restoration and large windows of Elizabethan style have been inserted. Inside
there appear the remains of a much older house, possibly C14 or early C15.
So much has been altered that certainty is difficult.
North Elevation. Projecting coupled gables with main entrance and carved stone
doorway. Stone plinth. Tudor brickwork. Tile roof. Casement windows with
wooden mullions and transoms. Large mullioned window lighting the hall. Typical
Elizabethan plan wmth large hall and staircase leading to gallery. The main
entrance is placed to one side giving access to corridor under the gallery with
the Hall to the right and kitchen and buttery to the?left. Some original brick
carved mouldings over windows.

of timber, much of it moved, including a beam with nailhead moulding and a good
