Visited by E. Rose (NAU).
Brick cottage with one shaped gable, 17th century. Two brick pilastered and pedimented doorways, each side of smaller door, all blocked in 1806 (and one now covered by an extension) when other side of house was made the 'front' Flush sash windows also of this date.
One end of house is three storeyed, other end was a granary and is two storeyed because large beamed granary-room is height of two floors.
Join in roof between two halves at old front; only brick corbelling here above house section but four granary shaped wooden beam ends protrude. One of the pilastered doorways opened into granary section; this end has plain gable. Barrel-vaulted undercroft has four ovens like home bread ovens, a small shaft to ground floor and large niche
extending to ceiling; similar to stair opening.
R. Brigden, formerly NCM, believes this cellar has been shortened and had an industrial function. Some of the wooden beams in the house are said to be from an earlier pre-1600 house on the site (one main beam now replaced by a coated Rolled Steel Joist). One chimney stack covers a window.
