Visited 30 September 1985.
Appears to be a three-cell two storeyed mid 16th century building, the embattled beam original and not restored. East gable stack added late 17th/early 18th century and remarkable ogee beam. Facade and alterations 19th century.
Documentary evidence claimed to effect that building was standing in 1633.
See detailed report in file.
Further evidence raises possibility that this was a Hall House.

Brief visit to Cherry Tree Cottage, the central cottage of the row of three. It contains the original hall and chimney bays. The cottage was probably built in the 16th century as indicated by edge-halved scarf joints and a brick chinmey stack in its own bay.
