When I looked up the listing details I was surprised to find that it is what looks like the newer wing of the building, to the left, that is Grade II listed. It was built as the parlour wing attached to the main house of 1631. The old house started collapsing and most of it had to be demolished and rebuilt in the 1980s. Someone who knew the family told me: "The owner's mother lived in the old part of the hall and one morning I believe in the late 60s, the front gable simply collapsed into the fields, leaving her lying in bed looking into the field below!" The gate piers to the house are also of c.1700, and listed Grade II.
