Roof may have been heightened in C18 or later. 2 storey timber-framed with plastered panels, roofs tiled, the upper storey projects on the front. It has curious and unusual supporting brackets the carved ornament is under-cut and hangs clear of the back part of the bracket. There is a very large rectangular chimney stack at the South end of the house, and the ground floor room (now shop) has a very large open fireplace with heavy beam. There is a fine old staircase, and said to be a wood ribbed ceiling and original bay windows in the back wing of the house" https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1037492 .
