Summary
Previously known as Furze Lane Farm, this is a building dating from about 1700. It may have replaced an earlier house, and was probably built by a reasonably well off farmer who wanted an up to date look for his dwelling without changing the ground plan of two rooms, the hall/kitchen and drawing room.
The house is two storeys high with an attic, and has a pantiled roof. The front of it faces north, and has four window bays. The entrance is set off centre and leads directly into the hall/kitchen. There is a single storey extension to the west.
There seems to have been an extensive restoration period in the late 18th century, with the east end being rebuilt to give an extra fireplace, and extended to provide more rooms.
