Summary

A hall of about 1620, half H shaped and timber framed with a plaster covering. It is two storeys high with a attic and a steeply pantiled roof that was originally thatched. The main chimney stack bears a date of 1701, which may indicate when the thatch was replaced. There were alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The hall is associated with various farm buildings, one of which is a 17th/18th century timber framed granary. The granary is on the first floor, over cart sheds below, which have been partly converted to a garage.
