Originally an early C16 timber-framed and plastered house of 2 bays set
at right angles to the road. Two storeys, the upper storey is jettied on
the road front. It seems that slightly after this house was built a hall
block was built on the east side and a smoke bay with an open hearth was
built against the east wall. This was discovered during renovations and
was heavily smoke blackened. A floor was later inserted, probably in the
C17 when a brick chimney stack was built. There is a lean-to addition on
the east end. The windows are partly horizontal sliding sashes and partly
casements. A doorway to the cross passage of the hall has cyma and hollow
moulding and a broach footstop which suggests a date during the first quarter
of the C16. Roofs tiled, with a gabled dormer and a central square chimney
stack to the hall block. The roof of the 2 storeyed block has a crown post.
(RCHM 15).
