Summary
This post medieval great house was probably built in the 16th to 17th centuries. It is constructed of flint and brick and has a pantile roof and round stair turret (which was added in 1956). It probably stands on the site of a medieval manor house and some medieval elements may survive. Extended during the 19th century, the hall was restored in the mid 20th century. Four barns and a cowshed with living accommodation are associated and date to the early 18th century.
