Timber frame cased in sandstone and handmade brick, stone slate roof.

mullions and in the 2nd bays 2 large Tudor-arched lintels, the 1st over a
casement window and the 2nd over a blocked doorway, an altered window above

chimney at the junction of the bays, and stone gable copings with kneelers to
the right, but the same masonry, including part of the door lintel, continues
a short way in 2 lower storeys to the right beyond the line of this gable,
with an altered window on each floor. The re-entrant of the left wing, of
similar masonry, has large external chimney stack with offsets at eaves
level; the gable and return walls of this wing are of handmade brick on a
high stone plinth, with a 2-course band carried round; the gable has
2 segmental-headed windows on each floor (glazing altered), and the return
has one similar window on each floor, and a doorway with modern timber porch.
Further to the rear this wall has the gabled end of the main range, with a
cut-down external chimney stack, a modern window on each floor, and king-post
framed gable (with restored V-struts). The rear has 2 gables with similar
but original framing, tie-beams or bressumers carried externally on
concave- braced ends of wallplates; otherwise, a doorway at ground floor and
one horizontal sliding sash on each floor, of each part.

Interior: Nos. 9 and 9A (now one dwelling, forming the left end) incorporate
the close-studded former external wall of the main range; a closed truss with
similar studding; and in one of the rear gables another truss with 2 massive
raked struts; in the wing, a corner wallpost and wallplate, and a
Tudor-arched stone fireplace; a similar fireplace in the main range of this
part; interior of hall range (No. 11) has timber post, and at 1st floor some
C17 muntin-and-rail panelling, but is otherwise altered.
