Large rebuilt offcentre stack. Rainwater heads dated 1672 which listing thinks is date of brick cladding. 17th century timber framed rear wing with mullioned window.
Interior has good 17th century staircase and ovolo moulded beams. At rear of front range are mutilated Ionic columns.
Within curtilage, but not listed is a timber framed barn; drawings suggest late date. Straight braces and knee braces; cart porch probably early 18th century. One end rebuilt in brick in about 1800.
Photographs and drawings in file.

Further examination of drawings suggests the barn began as a three stead building, indicated by the convex wallbraces, possibly 17th century, and was extended as a timber frame (straight braces) later, probably about 1700, by additional in line steads and the porch, before the brick section was built.
