History

The hall was constructed in two phases. The N half consists of 2 gable fronted, parallel ranges, which are timber-framed and dated by a gable bressumer to 1689. The S half is formed by a stone range dating to c 1750 (RCAHMW). The home of the Rev. Samuel D’Elboeuf Edwards in 1784 and in the ownership of Sir Jukes Grenville Clifton Jukes in 1794.

Exterior

The house has 2 storeys and an attic. The timber framed section is of 2 bays and has been heavily rendered, but box framing with brick nogging is visible on the W side above a lean-to structure. The W gable has a slightly narrower pitch and the apex contains light timbers and brick nogging. It contains the entrance, a panelled door, partially lit. The gable bressumer on the E range bears an inscription: 16. MI. E: EE. 89. There is a brick stack immediately E of the valley between the gables and it is possible that there was originally an entrance opposite it. Most of the windows are horned sashes, as on the later, S range, with the exception of some small pane casement windows on the ground floor. There is a canted bay window to the E gable containing 3 sash windows.

The S range was added as a new front and is of 3 bays. It is of coursed masonry with a tiled roof and two brick end stacks. The W stack is stepped at the base possibly suggesting a bakeoven. Symmetrical, 3 window range, the central bay being formed by a projecting pedimented gable. It contains a modern front door in an architrave with panelled pilasters supporting a leaded entablature hood. Horned 12-pane sash windows throughout under voussoired heads with high key stones, except for the pedimented section which has wooden lintels, the upper one removed. The attic has one window in the pedimented section and 2 sky lights, one to each side. There are two cross-shaped tie plates at attic floor level

Interior

No access to interior at time of inspection (January 1996). Said to contain 2 well preserved staircases of the late C17 and C18 centuries, one to each side. There are also said to be well preserved timber framed partitions, beams with ogee stops, and plaster detailing on the ceiling of the masonry section.
