House. Probably C14, with alterations of C17 and C18. One-and-a-half storeys and attics. A small aisled hall house of 2 cells, with a hall of 2 bays, aisled at the rear and with inconclusive evidence for a second aisle at the front; greatly depleted by later alterations. 3 windows. Timber-framed and rendered. Thatched roof with plaintiled gabled dormers having C18 iron casements with diamond leaded lights; gable and axial chimneys of red brick. C18 and C19 2-light windows with iron casements and leaded lights. Boarded and battened entrance door. Visible members of the C14 house include: an arcade post of an open truss, trenched for a passing-brace; an arcade-plate of
remarkably slender scantling and poor quality, with 2 open lap-joints for doubled arcade-braces; an arcade post of a closed truss with mortices for tie-beam and arcade-plate bracing; and a section of aisle wall-plate. The upper bay of the hall probably floored over C16. Chimney inserted into service cell, and remainder of hall floored over, C17 or early C18. Roof almost totally rebuilt C18. Divided into 3 cottages C19. A rare but fragmentary example of the aisled hall house at a low social 1 level.
