Field Visit (8 May 2014)
NT 51528 68031 Arts and crafts style single story plus attic mansion, built in 1930. Attached the main building is a single storey plus attic piend lodge, with flanking garage entrance with thatched coping and drum piers with conical thatched caps. The current building owner states that the building has been re-thatched within the last 6 months using Norfolk reed. The ridge is thatched, sculpted decoratively at the base and scobed with what appears to be hazel spars. The entire roof is netted, including over the ridge.
