Map

Large house, probably late 16th century, brick and flint, of unusual symmetrical plan, as if an extra bay added to a three cell pattern. However, a fire in mid 20th century destroyed much of the evidence. Two added stair turrets of 17th century date.
Barn began life as a 16th century lodging range, extended 17th and 19th century.
Both buildings listed grade II, see (S1).
