History

An inscription on a lintel in the gabled porch dates the building to 1577. [1]

The house is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building, first listed on 19 November 1951. [1]

Architecture

The building is constructed in stone, partially rendered, with sections of exposed timber framing and a slate roof. It comprises two storeys with attics and features four irregular bays. The second bay is timber-framed, with a jettied upper floor supported by a carved bressumer. A gabled porch with a Tudor-arched entrance includes enriched spandrels and a lintel bearing an inscription and date. The windows are casement-style, some with segmental heads, and the rear elevation includes stone quoins. [2]
