Location
About 300m west of Chainbridge on the road to Goetre.
History
Mainly probably later C17, much rebuilt in later C20.
Exterior
Symmetrical. Cement rendered. 3 storeys. 3 windows; large 3-light mullioned window to right on ground floor, casements above (wooden transmullioned on first storey). Modern hipped roof to open porch. Brick chimneys at left at rear and right-hand gable, over massive stacks, perhaps pre-C18. Slate roof with overhang a Victorian renewal. Rear with long catslide roof enclosing tall gabled stair tower of rubble construction with paired casements under timber lintols.

Retains C17 staircase with solid wooden treads radiating from newel.
Reason for designation
Included on list, notwithstanding modern alterations, because of its C17 origins including a fine turnpike staircase.
