There is a reference by Hasted, the late 18th Century historian, to a house called Posere in 1278 which was owned by the Posere family, and which is now believed to be Posiers. The house now displays the characteristics of a 15th Century Wealden Hall House, timber framed under a Kent Peg tiled roof with jetties, substantial chimney stacks and impressive King Post exposed in the vaulted ceiling on the First Floor Lounge. It is believed that the house was clad in the 19th Century and now has rendered elevations. The house is an imposing family home with well proportioned accommodation throughout and has undergone significant improvement and ongoing maintenance by the current owners since the 1990s.

The Oast building comprises the main Oast on two floors with two, two storey kilns and offers significant floor area. Currently used as garaging and storage but a variety of alternative uses could be possible such as ancillary accommodation for an extended family, office space, workshops or studio.
