Summary
This complicated two storey building dates to the late 16th or early 17th century and later and is of brick and flint probably covering a timber frame. It is built on a flint plinth and has a thatched roof, and the interior has double rollmoulding to the spine beam in the left hand ground floor room and an ovolo moulded spine beam to the left of the door. The brick barn dates to around 1820, and the gable walls contain reused carved limestone which may have come from the demolished St Andrew's church (NHER 8208).

Complicated building. Changes of alignment may relate to earlier structure on site. Present building is three cell, two storey and attic timber framed house of late 16th/early 17th century, off centre stack yet cross passage entry. Kitchen block added to south mid 17th century timber framed but with flint and brick fire gable; north gable wall rebuilt in similar style to match. Timber frame replaced in brick and in flint in stages around 1700 to around 1820.
Brick barn around 1820.
Gable walls contain reused carved limestone. Farm had responsibility for maintenance of parish church, but this material may rather have come from the demolished St Andrew's church (NHER 8208).
See report (S2) in file.
