Summary

The hall itself is now demolished, and the remaining outbuildings date from the 17th century, and are partly built with reused medieval masonry. The hall probably dated back to the medieval period. A 15th century document mentions a house belonging to John Curds, perhaps referring to the site of the hall.

Demolished, but outbuildings are of 17th century chequered brickwork, and brick and flint, with in south wall much reused ashlar. A feature to the south of the house and previously referred to as a moat-like feature is in fact a garden feature that has since been removed. This feature can be seen on the First edition Ordnance Survey map (S1) and the Tithe map. See [1].
