Full description
(S1) describes as early 17th century timber frame; thatched roof.
West end 2 storeys and attic, diagonal shafted stack offcentre, east end one storey and dormer attic.
October 1995.
Seen only from distance, but this gives very much the impression of the usual outline of a medieval hall house with inserted stack and rebuilt parlour block, and presumably inserted attic to hall also.
E. Rose (NAU) 30 October 1995.
