Summary

This 18th century house is built from flint and stone pebbles. It takes the form of a double-pile property with two gables parallel to each other. The main facade now has seven bays, but the northern two are larger, later additions, and one or two bays have been destroyed by the addition of an ungainly Roman Doric porch with flanking walls and a modern round-headed window above.

Map

Flint and stone pebbles, 18th century. A double-pile house with two gables parallel to each other, but rear section protrudes further to south, and space between in angle is taken up by lower buildings with classical doorway. Main facade now has seven bays, but northern two are larger, later additions, and one or two bays have been destroyed by the addition of an ungainly Roman Doric porch with flanking walls and a modern round-headed window above. Row of small blocked windows under eaves, perhaps only for decoration. Dentilled cornice. Fair condition.
Visited by E. Rose (NAU) 25 May 1977.
