Farmhouse. C17, early and late C19. The walls are rendered with a plinth, the wing being of coursed malmstone with brick dressings. The roof is unusual, the northern half being of steeper pitch, both sections half-hipped, with a slate roof above the wing. A timber frame of two phases, forming an L-shape, with early C19 recladding of the west front, and minor extensions of the late C19. The west elevation is a re-modelling of the early C19, with a symmetrical central section of 2 storeys, 2 windows, a set-back at the north side which is part of the older frame, and at the south side a single-storeyed wing with continuous walling. Large sashes in reveals, a small casement in the wing. 4-panelled door with a plain hood. The north elevation is of 2 storeys, irregular fenestration: the upper walls have exposed framing with painted brick infill, the lower of brickwork of 2 phases (of Monk and English bonds): the main feature is a massive attached stack with recessed panels in the upper part and blind arches below, the chimney tapering above eaves level to a narrow shaft. The interior of the angle of the L-shape has exposed framing to the north-south part, of 1 storey and attic, with tile-hanging to the upper part of the 2 storeyed east wing; within the angles is a staircase projection, timber-framed above a brick lower wall. Casements and plain doorways.
