Former farmhouse. Late C16 with C17 service cross-wing to right. Altered
1916 after a fire which destroyed the roof. Cross-wing reduced to one storey
in mid C20. Timber framed; front encased in common brick (dated 1916 with
initials 'D.K.' on porch), the rear rendered. Pantiled roof. 3 cells. 2
storeys. 3 windows, 3-light casements without glazing bars, mostly of C19
date, under flat concrete lintols. Lobby entry: gabled porch with semi-glazed
panelled door. Internal stack. 2 ovolo-mullioned windows have been exposed
at rear of parlour cell. Interior. Much plain studding with no visible
bracing. Evidence for removal of many sections of mid rail, suggesting
possible reconstruction. Blocked cross-entry doorway. In the hall, an axial
floorbeam with large barred stop-chamfers and plain joists. The cross-passage
has a similar but structurally separate ceiling, the axial floorbeam bar-
stopped at one end. Service partition removed. Original upper floor in
