rest refronted early C19, but possibly incorporating an
earlier structure. Timber-framed, partly refronted or rebuilt
in brick, with heavy slate roof.

suggesting hall and cross wing arrangement.
EXTERIOR: left-hand wing is timber-framed, probably C17, but
the facade repainted in an early C20 restoration. Highly
decorative treatment, with raking diagonal close-studding to
ground floor, and chequerboard decoration below window of
jettied upper storey. Cusped quatrefoil panels in gable, which
has queen post and strut structure. 4-light mullioned window
on each floor dating from early C20 restoration. Long wing
extending back from this incorporating service buildings,
framed in square panels with brick infill.
Central range and right-hand wing refronted or rebuilt early
C19 in brick. Central 2-window range, with doorway to right,
in angle with right-hand wing. 12-pane sashes, with
flat-arched brick head to lower window. 2 axial stacks, one at
