mullioned and transomed to left, C20 casement to right. South side
of wing has C20 lean-to porch addition; above is junction

close studded framing. Upper floor opening to left with Tudor-
arched head formerly gave access to timber-framed lean-to porch,

Timber framed former early C16 weaving shop extends to left with
continuous upper floor jetty. Close studding to ground floor,

range, earlier to right. Mostly 3-light fenestration to ground and
upper floors except 4-light to ground floor of left gable. Single

random rubble infill below jetty.
Interior: in former open hall of main range one cruck blade
survives and part of former external wall with 2 windows having
diagonal-set wooden mullions. Room on north side of house has
moulded stone chimney and plank and muntin partition on upper
floor. A very important survival illustrating the changing pattern
of use. Illustrated in W.G. Davie and E.G. Dawber, Old
