House. At right angles to road in a long rectangular plan. Two-storeyed roughcast rubble with cellars, stone copings, kneelers, ball finials and stone slate roof. Modern yellow brick chimney shafts.

In the South elevation are modern two-light casement windows. The West gable is C17 and has three and four-light ancient casement windows with wood frames and lintels. The North elevation is of coursed rubble and has five gabled attic dormers in the roof and five two-light modern casement windows.

Interior: Modernized except that the ground floor east room has some late C18 panelling and a niche. History. Once known as the Rectory farmhouse and may possibly be one of the buildings erected by William Napper c 1600; he died aged 75.

(Oxf Hist Soc 92. 192). Napper appears to have been in Cowley in 1573 (i b 188) and to have had a "farme house" in Cowley. (Wood's Life III, 122).
