Full Description
The house is a Grade II listed building. Formerly an Inn and last used as such in 1950. Now a private dwelling. Earlier it was known as "The Kicking Dickey". A 16th century timber-framed and plastered building with a cross wing at the west end. Altered in the 18th century when the cross wing was given a mansard roof. 1 storey and attics. Casement windows. Roof tiled, with a gabled dormer to the main block. The east end of the roof is of 20th century pantiles and a modern wing extends to the south. The interior has exposed timber-framing (S1).
The dwelling, believed to have originally been a farmhouse, was built in the late 16th/early 17th centuries. The date of the timber outbuilding is uknown but is of probable 18th/19th century date. The barn to the north was extensively damaged in a fire in December 2013. Although not listed it is in the curtilage of the main house. (S2).
