Summary

This house dates to the mid 17th century, and was extended in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. The original house had a three-room main range with a lobby entrance in front, and may have dated from an earlier period. There is a single storey one-room plan extension at the south end, dating to the 18th century, and a single storey 20th century extension. The original roof has three tiers of staggered butt purlins and a later ridgeboard, and the chimneystack is in a separate bay and appears to replace a timber-framed stack.
