Probably a former Monastic Grange. Altered during 19th and 20th centuries. Flint and brick with thatched roof. Two storeys.
For further information see listed description (S2).
The alterations included the insertion of an upper floor in the hall, after which the crownposts were removed. Nothing to date the insertions. It is worth noting that alterations were made in the 18th century, as well as the 19th and 20th centuries.
