A Grade II LB. Late C16th house, L-shaped. Timber-framed with brick infill. The western bay is two rooms deep. The eastern bay has a raised gable, probably added to create a symmetrical façade. There is a central 3 m wide bay creating a lobby entry plan. A three flue brick stack sits across this bay, but allowing central access through its centre to the back of the house ( see g.f. plan drawing) making this a most unusual arrangement.
