Single storey kitcnen extension at the right end is C20. The main house is 2 storeys. Exterior: irregular 3-window front of C20 casements with glazing bars and another to the right end extension. The front doorway is roughly central to the main block and it contains a C20 part-glazed 4-panel door. Interior is largely the result of C20 modernisation although the basic structure is C17. The right room crossbeam has deep chamfers and straight cut stops. The fireplace here is plastered stone rubble with chamfered oak lintel and rear oven. The left room has 2 chamfered axial beams. The roof was not available for inspection although the owner claims it is carried on jointed cruck trusses.
