House. Early C19 with C17 and C16 remains. Painted brick and timber-
framing with tile roof. Two storeys. South-west front has two cross-

left-hand wing has framing exposed in five rows of square panels. It has
vertical struts between tie-beam and collar and is half-hipped above. The
right-hand wing has timbering which is partly false, and a parapet. Chimneys
