RCHME of Tymperleys house. The building 'was built late in the 15th or early in the 16th century and has a lower wing, little later in date, at the E end. The upper storey projects on the S front and has curved and hollow-chamfered brackets. On the first floor, at the E end, is an original doorway with a four-centred head; it is now blocked but may have opened on to an external staircase; that the house extended further in this direction is negated by the existence of the almost contemporary E wing. Inside the building the ground floor has some original moulded ceiling-beams and the roof has an original octagonal king-post with moulded capital and base and four-way struts. The staircase projects at the back, and has late 17th century twisted balusters, close string and square newels with turned pendants. The E wing has original moulded ceiling-beams'.<1>
