House, C15 or earlier and C17. Timber framed and plastered with gabled peg
tile roofs. Of 'T' shaped plan form with a low single storey and attics 'hall'
block and 2 storey crosswing at the W end. The hall block has a gabled dormer
in the front roof slope. 2 small stacks in this front roof slope and large

C19 casements with small panes and off-centre door has original arched head

jettied to the front and has C19 bargeboards. The interior reveals an open

moulded mantel beam and chamfered brick mullions over. The floor 'clamps' are
also moulded with a simple crenellated top. (RCHM 35).
