October 2008. Building survey.
The earliest part of the building was originally a lobby entrance plan dwelling with further extensions to the north and west. All that remains is the single room, chamber above and stack. The elaborate stop and ogival moulding on the prinicple joist indicates a seventeenth-century date.
