Summary
This 15th century hall has a 19th century façade. The three irregular bays represent the original plan of the house. The outshut against the north gable encloses the 15th century solar stairs of brick (now blocked) and the north wall has six light wood mullioned 16th century windows. One large arch brace of the original hall remains in the interior, and there is a jewel stopped bridging beam on the first floor. There are also two important brick and thatch barns - one dating to the late 18th century and the second to 1807.
