Full Description
Along west side of road.
Northeast gable shaped and bearing a chimney stack with a blank pointed arch.
Brick patterning in gable in place of the usual blocked or false windows, and uninscribed plaque.
Southwest gable also shaped.
House is very long, 7 bays, and 2 storeys high.
3 of the bays have blocked windows, and another has a blocked window on the ground floor only.
By the 4th bay from northeast end are quoins as if this was the original end of the house, and there is a central chimney above.
The southwest gable has been at least renewed, and could be modern, but most of the blocked windows are in this end of the house and are certainly old.
Perhaps an 18th century extension?
Tiled roof flattened at edges.
Later porch in same style, now without a doorway.
Good condition.
See (S1).
Visited E. Rose (NAU) 28 October 1976.
(S1) suggests 2 building phases in the mid and late 17th century, not the 17th and 18th as above.
It also says porch and west gable are modern.
