Visited by E. Rose.
Really only a cottage. Timber framed, visible on upper storey with windows of original size. Slightly jettied. Ground floor of flint, brick and reused stone; Gothick window. Extension, two storey, to north of brick and flint, obviously once thatched. 16th century.

Huge fireplace with quoins of reused stone. South gable of house from exterior appears modern with outbuilding below, but the beams of the jetty continue into this latter, suggesting south end of house has collapsed at some time and been rebuilt shorter. So perhaps really a manor house.
