Stripping prior to demolition in 1970 revealed evidence of several phases of alteration and extension. Originally 14th century of cob and stone. Interesting features are the pegged butt purlins and absence of ridge piece, in the south-eastern English tradition, the medieval hall divided by stud-and-panel wooden screen to form inner room, and the first storey dividing walls of rough studs and cob unsupported by lath.
