Farmhouse, formerly manor house. Mid C16, with major alterations, principally of early C17 and 1887. 2 storeys and attics. The main C16 range is aligned north-south: timber-framed and plastered. Plaintiled roof with an axial chimney, the shaft rebuilt in C19 red brick with diagonally-set square flues. Mid C19 small-pane sashes at 1st storey, mid C20 casements below. C20 gabled entrance porch with panelled door. A 2-cell cross wing added early C17 to south end: timber-framed, encased in brick and extended both ends in red brick in 1887, as dated on west gable; all external features described below are of this date. Pilasters and bands of gault brick in the Estate style of Great Finborough Hall. 3 gablets on the south side, with sash windows. Two axial chimneys of red brick: one with a diagonally-set cruciform shaft, the other with circular twin shafts of moulded terracotta tiles forming diaper patterning in high relief. Concrete lintelled openings with C20 small-pane casements. The C16 range has some massive unmoulded framing exposed, and clasped-purlin roof much altered in C19. The C17 range has altered arched fireplaces and a butt-purlin roof, the framing mainly concealed. Two arms remain of a probably medieval moat. Queen Elizabeth I is believed to have visited in August 1578.
