Summary

One of a row of former abbey tenements, now a private house. Built in the early sixteenth century, with eighteenth and nineteenth century alterations. The building has walls of knapped flint and banded stone plinth, and plastered jettied walls; three jetty-braces survive. Examination of some of the interior features suggests an even earlier date of construction.
