Summary
A house dated 1712, of two storeys with attics and with nineteenth-century alterations. The building has walls of banded brick and flint and a tiled roof with brick chimney stacks. Sixteenth-century stonework, including a reset stone doorway, has been used in the building. Interior features are reported to include 19th-century plasterwork, joinery and chimney pieces, and the thickness of some internal walls suggests that the building may incoprorate elements of an earlier building.
The record for this monument has been enhanced with support from Wessex Water.
