Very fine early 17th century house, T shaped. Six bays in main wing, octagonal chimneys.

Rose (NAU) suggests early 17th century windows cut by late 17th/18th, all altered in 19th century. Octagonal chimneys are 19th century. West end of house shows signs of subsidence.
E. Rose (NAU), 30 September 1976 and 22 August 1983.
At north end Tunn Street frontage (perhaps not same property) windows surrounds have blocks of reused limestone and one block ironbound conglomerate.
