Full Description
Present front, south facade, of five bays, two storeys; flint with 19th century brick windows, and traces of 17th century windows around them. Blocked doorway at west end. North facade is in much better flint, with stone edgings to doors and windows: therefore originally main facade. Both gable walls have blocked windows. Stone quoins - where is stone from? Probable 16th century. Garden wall of clunch to east.
Later barn along road, clunch and brick on flint base: could also be 16th century, but roof modern.
E. Rose (NAU) 5 October 1977.
