Summary
The plaque on the front of this building dates it to 1676, but that is only the existing building. Interior investigation indicates that it was built around an older timber framed structure, probably of 16th century date. In any event, the current building is a fine brick house, two storeys high with a steep tiled roof and Dutch gables. It has a central dooway set with a panelled 17th century door, and a five bayed façade. Alterations over the years make the dating of building phases difficult. The house's position next to the site of a moated manor indicates that it probably had considerable status in 1676.
