2 storeys, 3 first-floor windows. Plinth. Central oak board door in

windows. Coped gable to left. Large stepped chimney-stack to right. East
(left) return of rear wing: 2 2-light double-chamfered mullion windows.
Interior: late C18 doors and window shutters. In the house body, to right
of door, C17 panelling with frieze, oak beams and joists, all said to have
been brought from Pendragon Castle; moulded plaster reveal inside blocked
mullion window; fireplace with segmental-arched lintel incised as if with
joggled voussoirs, and salt and spice boxes. Leading off the house body,
spiral oak staircase, formerly of stone. In the parlour, to left of door,
fireplace with C18 eared architrave, and C17 plaster frieze with acorns and
pomegranates between moulded base and cornice. In rear service wing,
beehive oven and huge bressumer, formerly for a firehood. On the first
