W, C19 and C20 lean-to additions at back.
EXTERIOR: W front elevation - 2 storeyed, all walls rough
rendered and all windows and doors C20 replacements except for
S cross-wing of brick, showing early C17 ovolo mouldings round
the windows beneath the rendering. S cross-wing has canted bay
windows on both floors beneath a projecting front end gable
and the window apertures between the mullions have C20
casement glazing. The N elevation of the wing has a simple
3-light ovolo mullioned window on the first floor similarly
glazed. Between the ground floor and first floor of the S
cross-wing a deep cornice extends round the block, now simply
of triangular section (moulding may remain beneath rendering).
Central stack c1800. N cross-wing has an external stack on the
N side, twin octagonal shafts, c1600, rebuilt but using old
bricks also C20 door with a simple porch. N cross-wing gabled
front has C20 5-light metal casement windows on both floors. S
elevation of the wing - C20 wooden French doors, 2x4 panes.
Central range - ground floor C20 French doors and C20 wooden
casement window windows. 2 stacks of c1800 are seen behind the
roof apex. Rear of house all C20 reconstruction except one C19
casement window with glazing bars, 2x4 panes in lean-to to
round S cross-wing.
INTERIOR mainly C20 now but S cross-wing ground floor room has
exposed ceiling bridging joist with lamb's tongue chamfer
stops which also occur on the central fireplace lintel.
Ceiling above on first floor has deep section joists with
diminished haunched tenons. House main central range
continuing on to N cross-wing has a tension braced wall and a
jowled post, implying a C16 date for the core. There is
panelling of c1600, used alone as a divider and a rustic
Jacobean plaster overmantel of 'Doric' type on the first floor
of the N cross-wing. The house probably has a C16 core
comprising a straight range. Early in the C17 the fashionable
S brick cross-wing was added and a timber-framed front
cross-wing was also built on at the N end and was provided
with a pair of fireplaces of which the upper one remains.
