Central C20 door with straight hood on brackets. 3-light casement windows to ground and 1st floors with wood lintels. 3 gabled roof dormers. Interior noted as having spine beams.

{4} Analysis, plan and photographs. The walls of the front range have a thickness which in this area are usually associated with a 16th century date. Unfortunately, there is no material evidence to support this.The proportions of the rear range suggest a 17th century date, but again there is no clear evidence.
