Dist:0.3km<br/>This is a Grade II listed rendered timber frame farmhouse, whose origins lie in the C16. Subsequently added to throughout the C17 - C19, it was apparently built on the site of, or close to an ancient chapel (according to the 1:25,000 OS map). The projecting chimney breast of flint and ashlar chequerwork is particularly attractive.
