brick ridge stack with grouped shafts; gable end stack to right hand. Two

late C17 gable extension to south. Main entrance (now sealed internally) to

hood. Three ground floor C20 three-light mullioned and transomed casement
windows with drip moulds, and three similar first floor windows. Two C20
gabled dormer windows. Interior: exposed timber-frame and floor-frame shows
clearly the three building periods; original winding oak staircase in an
internal turret rising to attic floors; sealed ovolo moulded mullioned
windows; some bolection moulded two-panelled late C17 doors; the hall, and
chamber above both have timbers with traces of vermillion paint, part of the

enlarged in the late C17 to the east, only part of the garden walls to the
north remain. Robert Flack (b.1627), steward of Linton Manor in late C17 is
said to have rebuilt the farmhouse (Palmer). In 1783/4, as part of the
Linton estate it was sold to Benjamin Keene who demolished the east-west
range.
