Formerly a 3-room, cross passage plan extended at the higher-end in the C17; lower

end stacks to main range, all with brick stacks. The C17 extension is now a 2-storey
storage area. 2 storeys throughout.
Front: 5-window range; 2 and 3-light casement windows to 1st floor (the 3-light
windows C19, barred, the others C20); one C19 4-light and one 3-light casement

end extension is divided from the remainder of the house by a cob wall (with brick
Patching) with a 4-light window, each light trefoil-headed, with chamfered jambs and
mullions, 1 mullion and sill missing; the ground-floor door (there is an upper
entrance approached by a flight of stone steps) has an ovolo-moulded surround, and to
the left of this is a 4-light timber casement window with ovolo moulding.
Rear: completely refenestrated, although ground-floor window lintels might be C17;
otherwise C19 and C20. Stair turret to rear of hall.
Interior: plank and muntin screen between hall and parlour, chamfered with cyma
recta mouldings, and leaf stops (ie. a scroll stop with fillet) about 12" above
