Summary

Grade II listed former farmhouse, now a house. It was built in the early 17th century with additions dated 1706. It is timber-framed and partly brick-nogged with plastered infill on a stone base. It has a welsh slate roof. It was originallay a two roomed house but has a crosswing added later. Wood was in plentiful supply as a building material in Britain until the 17th century. It was therefore the most practical material for house building. Timber framed buildings consist of a wooden framework (usually oak) that was infilled to create solid walls. Infill material used included wattle and daub, lath and plaster, brick and weather board. Brick nogging, (brick infill) was often used in the 17th and 18th centuries to replace earlier wattle and daub or lath and plaster infill as it was longer lasting.
