Full description
Pear Tree Farm, Misery Corner.
Timber framed house of exceptional interest. Apparently a two cell raised aisled hall, the evidence for this period mostly masked by a conversion to a three cell two storey house about 1600. Much reused timberwork. House restored from dereliction in 1973 without detailed record, which may confuse the evidence.
