Hollow-chamfer mullioned windows in chamfered recesses; to ground floor of 4, 2, 4, 3 and 3 lights, all with separate labels, and above all 3-light casements of early pattern; all windows rectangular-leaded, with iron-framed opening lights: to lower bay 2 a chamfered cambered-arched doorway with boarded door, with coped gabled open porch having a ball finaal; north gable has a single-light window it ground floor level without label, and square date plaque set high in gable, no longer readable but possibly referring to the raising of the roof in 1760: south gable has a 4-light mullioned window at first floor level: similar window in east gable of no 7; others of C20 pattern, to both no 3 (mostly north and east wings) and no 7 (south wing). The interiors not seen, but reported in the west range are a large fireplace in the north room, with former doorway in recess alongside and 3-bay ceiling; central wide entry with opposing doors and staircase; then a former Hall with 4-unit ceiling having moulded beams and a back window which is of 2-light ovolo-mould mullioned type; the south room has an ogee-mould cambered arched stone fireplace. All six roof trusses are of different patterns, a former post and truss with signs of wattle and daub infill, a jointed cruck, and several others including a totally closed truss of unknown height: some are smoke blackened, and one bay has windbraces. The whole has been interpreted as a hall house of c1500, with floor inserted c1600, and with major C18 reshaping. (VAG Report, unpublished SRO, November 1976; VCH, Vol III, l974).
