Summary

This house was converted into three cottages but has now reverted back to being a single building. It dates to the late 16th century and takes the form of a timber frame faced in brick with a thatched roof. All the windows are 20th century imitations of older styles. North of the off-centre chimney stack the upper floor was formerly open to the roof. The roof now visible is an 18th century replacement.
