Image: © nmtoken Taken: 11 Mar 2011
Timber framed farmhouse, with plastered panels and brick end gables (Grade II listed and listed in Pevsner). Steeply-pitched pantile roof with off-centre ridge stack and brick coped gables on square kneelers. Rectangular 2 room plan. Two Storeys. Box framing with diagonal bracing to wall posts. The oldest part of the house dates to the 1590's, though the majority viewable from the street is later 17th Century. The house would originally have been thatched, as indicated by the tall stack. Renovation in the 1960's revealed a hidden space believed to be a priest hole.
