Summary

The farmhouse here is T-shaped in plan, with the earliest parts dating to the 16th century. The crosswing and main section were added onto this timber frame in the 18th century. It appears that the brick bond work here is a mixture of English and Flemish styles. A timber-framed and weatherboarded barn stands to the east of the farmhouse and this also dates to the 17th century.

House, T-shaped. Fragment of a late medieval or 16th century house, presumably once timber framed, remains, and ornate fragments of this date are reused in the later building. Extended to north in brick in early 17th century; south end rebuilt soon afterwards. Crosswing appears to be later 17th century but might incorporate older work. Barn, timber framed, listed as 17th century.
