- II*
House, probably containing former upper floor hall-house. C14 with additions of C15/C16 and elevations of C19. Timber-framing and rendered on rendered plinth. Plain tiled roof, hipped to left with off-ridge stack to front, off-centre to right. Wing to left at rear with coupled and stacks. 2 storeys; irregular fenestration of 3 windows on 1st floor and 4 windows on ground floor, casements with segment-heads. Entrance with late C20 half-glazed door in right return front. Interior: Remains of upper floor hall with moulded beams and cornice in bedroom of rear wing. Uniform scantling roof above with braced collars but no purlins and no evidence of there having been any purlins. Evidence of timber- framing throughout building.

This building is listed II* due to the rarity of upper floor timber-framed halls in Kent and its early date, probably 1350-1400.
