January 1978. Field Observation.
L-shaped building, brick and thatched.
Central portion of east-to-west wing is the oldest as shown by long thin bricks.
In 16th or early 17th century pedimented doors added on north and south, and pedimented window on south: north-to-south wing built in English bond, with diaper-work.
This involved adding a stepped gable at west end of old wing with two octagonal windows, and 'ENR' in flints (though brickwork around this has been renewed). Here is a blocked window with timber mullions.
West wall of north-to-south wing has a tall square chimneystack and blocked windows.
Its south gable wall has polygonal angle turrets rising to a stepped gable and three pedimented windows one above the other - but the top one is false, with brick mullions. This wall is badly subsided.
East wall of this wing has a blocked pedimented window with wooden mullions.
The east gable of east-to-west wing is later still; plain gable with three hoodmoulded windows one above the other, top one false.
Large barn to north, 16th to 17th century, brick, listed as 18th century.
Thatched: slit windows widening to stepped lancets inside: tiebeam roof with longitudinal scissor-trusses; 'CM' in irons over door.
Badly damaged in recent gales.
