House not inspected in detail, but seen when visiting adjacent site. Combination of bricks with horizontal skintlings in north west wing and diagonal skintlings in crosswing fits the listing date of 1722 better than the date of 1701 claimed by the owners. There is a former stable block to the north and a ruined summerhouse with colonnade to the south east.
