House. C16, extended C17 and C18. Timber framed core, much extended
with red brick, (partly in English bond) and some flint and rubble to
rear. Plain tiled roof. Two storeys on plinth with roof hipped to
left, with stacks at end right and projecting at end left. Two margin
light sashes on each floor, those on ground floor with segmental
heads. Central door of 6 raised and fielded panels with lozenge -
traceried rectangular fanlight and segmental iron hood. Right return
2 storey, rendered, with steeply pitched hipped roof and metal casement
windows, all of slightly different pattern. Central boarded door.
Flint and rubble outshot and rear wing. Interior: the kitchen wing
(right return) with interior frame visible, with wattle and daub/lathe
and plaster interior walls. Truncated clasped purlin and wind brace
roof (possibly a cross-wing to main range). Some simple mid C18
panelling and raised and fielded and moulded doors (fine front door
with diagonal planks, strap hinges, etc.). Simple straight flight
stair, but upper landing with short mid C18 dog leg stair with turned
baluster with square knaps, moulded handrail and extended newels,
effecting change of levels between different builds. The internal
divisions, partitions and specialised storage and processing rooms
(pantry/washhouse etc.) largely survive, with a remaining kitchen
copper, the flint bakehouse outshot dateable by its oven (now
dismantled) to 1781. Adjoining to the south a mid C18 donkey wheel
with vertical post to drum, with iron bucket. The timbered housing
with tiled roof rebuilt in 1906, with moulded timbers of good scantling.
