Mid C14 rectangular building; 2 storeys; stone, some brick; hip gabled
tile roof; with lower storey vaulted in 2 bays with hollow chamfered ribs
and carved bosses; some original windows; old fireplace etc; severe restoration
in 1949 when the old dressed clunch was replaced with Ketton stone. The
roof is modern but with some re-used timbers. The building belonged probably
to the procurator of the abbot of Vercelli and is a rare example of the
home of a foreign appropriator. (RCHM 305).
