Full description

Now subdivided. Timber framed house with brick and flint fire gable of about 1600. Part clad in brick in 18th century, part in 19th century.
See external description (S1), and notes on farm (S2) in file.
E. Rose (NLA), 20 July 1998.

September 1999. Interior of eastern section inspected when stripped out. The east gable has a large inglenook fireplace of early to mid 17th century date. It contained a scythe blade. The timber frame of this section is of a similar date and the roof is numbered eastwards from the partitiion with the western section , which has a roof of recent date. This may therefore indicate that the eastern section stood alone as one house.
See detailed discussion (S3) in file. Architectural plans (S4), correspondence (S5) and (S6) and photographs (S7) in file. Listed (S8).
E. Rose (NLA), 17 September 1999.
