A late-medieval hall-house with a characteristic and rather dramatic downslope siting.
There are three principal phases:
1. Late-medieval hallhouse of `gentry? type, i.e. with a central open truss to the hall. Evidence for three cruck-trusses survive defining the two-bayed hall and inner and outer-rooms. The dais partition truss appears to have lost the post-and-panel partition. The central arch-braced truss (partly visible in a cupboard) is set against the inserted chimney. The passage-partition truss, which rarely survives, has a large doorway into the outer room and possibly open panels (now infilled) suggesting a feed-walk.
2. Hearth-passage house. The C17th successor to the medieval house has retained the cross-passage plan. A large fireplace with tall chimney has been inserted against the central truss preserving the passage. The broad-chamfered fireplace beam has been cut back. A graffiti date on the side of the fireplace of 1660 provides a terminus post quem for the fireplace.
3. Additional phase. The outer room seems to have been converted into a kitchen and possibly rebeamed in the C18th. A dated panel (possibly a cupboard front) may date the conversion: E I 1735. The central chamfered beam has a scribed daisy wheel. A small wing, in the manner of an oriel, has also been added on the yard side with a rather awkward entry from the side of the fireplace.
