Summary
This mid 16th century timber framed house has two storeys throughout with an unusual smoke bay. There is a detached single storey kitchen close to the east side of the house that was built at the same time, or soon after the construction of the house. The house was extended and altered in the 17th century and the kitchen was joined to the main building. In the 19th century lean-to outbuildings of clay lump and tar were added to the house.
