Three bays of a late medieval cross wing survive. This was almost certainly attached to a medeival hall range which lay to the south. The hall itself was rebuilt as a two storeyed continuous jetty range in the mid to late 16th century. The roof is of collar-rafter form with no crown posts, it is hipped to the front and rear. Probably built circa 1500. (2)
