It was built towards the end of the C17th, probably on an L-shaped plan, with the wings xtending towards the South and East, and possibly with a small staircase wing between them. During the C18th, the house was extended to the South, making the plan rectangular, and there are more additions at the Northern end. Condition - Good (B2).
