In 2010 and 2011 historic building recording formed a condition of the planning consent for restoration works and construction of a conservatory. To the front, and forming the
main body of the house, is a fully timber-framed, three-bay, two-storey structure. This
measures approximately 9.93m in length by 5.30m in width and is jettied to the south-east
(front). Its features suggest it was built in perhaps the late fifteenth or early sixteenth
centuries. To the rear lies a single-storey lean-to of flint and brick construction. The appearance of the lean-to suggests it is later than the main body of the house, dating perhaps to the second half
of the seventeenth-century. The extant structure may be the surviving part of a once larger house, or the structure may have been moved here from elsewhere. (2)
