Summary
This house consists of two ranges. To the rear is a 16th century or even earlier timber framed house with clay lump infill, much altered in the 16th and 17th centuries, including the insertion of floors and chimneys into the original open hall. The front range is early 19th century. The house was restored in the 1980s, when pieces of medieval and post medieval pottery were found in the garden. A clay lump barn stands nearby.
