Summary

This late medieval farmhouse had fallen into dereliction by 1985. Study of the exterior shows that the timber frame was replaced in the early 18th century by chequered brickwork. Inside, a single smoke blackened late medieval queenpost truss with braces to the collar and purlins survives, with the other trusses being later replacements.
