A cruck-framed hall-house converted to a storeyed house of regional , lobby-entry type. There are two principal phases:
1. A late-medieval hallhouse of `gentry? type, i.e. with a central open truss to the hall. The hall was of mixed cruck- and box-framed construction and presumably with timber-framed walls. The central archbraced cruck-truss of a two-bayed hall survives impressively against the inserted chimney. The cruck has plain (not cusped) struts above the archbraced collar. There is an indication that a boss may have been hacked from the soffit of the collar. The box-framed dais-end truss survives with mortices for an inner room ceiling. There are short, uncusped windbraces. The sales particulars claim that the house dates from 1497; a date of c. 1500 is indeed quite probable.
2. Storeyed house of regional type, c. 1600. The house is now of two-unit end-chimney lobby-entry type. A large fireplace has been inserted against the central cruck of the hall, and the hall truncated with loss of the passage and the outer room. The fireplace beam calls for special notice and has a prominent moulding; the beam continues beyond the fireplace to the lateral wall forming the lintel of a cupboard. Joists and beams have been replaced. Some elements of timber-framing have been retained on the upper floor.
3. A cowhouse was added to the upper end of the house and this has now been incorporated into the dwelling.

The cruck-truss is not obviously smoke-blackened, as would be expected for an open-hall conversion. Thus, fi replace and cruck truss may be coeval, or very nearly so, a possibility supported by the dendrochronology.
