Historic building recording and documentary research suggests that the building was originally of three bays and has three pairs of surviving crucks, at least one of which has truncated blades at the apex (type 'W'). The building can be traced back to at least 1553 in court records, and by 1824 seems to have been a small farmstead with barn, stable and cowhouse. See report for detail (B3).
