House. Probably late C16 or early C17 remodelled late in C17 and with late C19 alterations. Rendered cob on stone rubble base with brick pitching and window surrounds. Corrugated asbestos roof with gable ends. Cob stack at left end, truncated and with stone oven at base. 3-room plan, the lower left end room the kitchen with a gable end stack, the right hand room probably originally the hall is unheated and the smaller central bay is partitioned axially with a small unheated room at the back and an entrance lobby at the front giving into all 3 rooms. There is a later doorway giving direct entry into the front of the lower left end room. The floor was inserted into the hall later in C17 probably when the lower gable end stack was built. Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 3-window south west front, the first floor windows breaking the eaves. Late C19 or early C20 2-light casements with glazing bars. Doorways at centre and left of centre with late C19 plank doors, the left one has small late C19 gabled brick porch. At the rear the higher left end of back wall has collapsed. Circa late C19 casements on ground floor at centre, a small C17 chamfered wooden contour frame on ground floor to right and a circa C18 2-light window above. Lower (north west) gable end truncated cob stack with stone rubble oven at base and blocked window on left. The higher (south east) gable end is built into back blocking ground floor window and has late C19 casement on first floor. Interior: Lower left end room has cambered deeply chamfered cross-beam with large straight-cut stops and relatively small gable end fireplace with chamfered timber lintel with ogee stops on rebuilt brick gables and with clay oven. The higher right hand room (hall) has chamfered axial beam with run-out stops, the end set into blocked gable end window indicates it is a later insertion. The partition with timber grille above between entrance lobby and central unheated room is late C19 replacement. The plank and muntin screen between the central bay and former hall is original and has chamfered muntins with mason's mitres and diagonal stops, and 2 doorways, one into central unheated room and the other with chamfered arch into the entrance lobby. The plastered wattle-and-daub stud partition above is probably a C17 insertion into the only truss in the house. This has side-pegged jointed crucks, the collar tenoned to the principals. The 3rd-bay roof is complete and has no other trusses and the diagonal ridge-piece and trenched purlins are supported on the gable end walls and the solid wall partition between the lower left and central bays. The roof timbers over the higher right hand end are smoke-blackened. Late C19 plank doors and winder staircase in lower left rear corner. Note: This house is a very rare survival that represents a transitional phase, combining the Medieval open-hall and the C17 unheated central room arrangement.
