Probably the oldest surviving secular building in the village, provisionally dated c.1340. Opinions on its history vary, one possibility is that it was the manor house of St Omers manor; another is that it was a hostel for the Knights of St John. It is thought that originally a further range of buildings including a gatehouse extended to the northeast. The house was owned for many years by the Isaacson family, prominent local farmers, who also gave their name to the adjoining road.
