(S1) describes as 17th century but (S2) by [1] suggests medieval open hall with smoke bay; upper floor and stack inserted as shown by position of stack away from beams; tiebeams cut for upper doors, and windows at upper floor level. These alterations probably 17th century and this is only phase visible on exterior, hence listing. Other 19th to 20th century alterations.
