See (S1).

February 1974. Building Survey.
Examined by Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England (RCHME):
House of about 1700 - of this date matrix of rear, and timber roof, survives, also attic staircase with balusters (but reset?). Altered in the later 18th century including refronting in red brick and refitting internally. This involved changing the plan to the current form. Ground floor modernised in the 19th century. Also of latter date is fine plaster work, stair balusters etc.
