Summary

This two storey house shows two building phases. The east end and garden front date to the 17th century while the portion to the west is 18th century. Nevertheless, both parts are constructed from brick, clunch and carstone with pantiled roofing. Other interesting elements include blocked brick windows, presumably from the original construction and the axial chimney stacks.
