Historic Environment Record entry

Listed building

18th century rural house, much renovated. The house retains its proportions and some historic features, emulating the polite architecture of Georgian fashion but with a continuing local character. The outbuildings have been altered but still contribute to the grouping as a whole. The house is considered in some research to have medieval remains to walling. Shown on the Richmond Map of 1795.

Two-storey five-bay house with wing to southwest. To northeast is small detached, single storey building.
