House. Circa C17. Whitewashed rendered cob; thatched roof, half-hipped at left end,
gabled at right end; axial stack, projecting right end stack; C19 or C20 rear left

backing on to the passage and unheated lower end (left hand) and inner (right hand)
rooms. A C19 stair has been inserted at the rear of the passage and the inner room
is now heated. A change in plane on the rear wall suggests that there has been some
substantial rebuilding.

floor windows. C20 porch to left of centre with a lean-to roof and C20 front door.
Ground floor windows 2 and 3-light casements, 3 panes per light. First floor windows

C17 chamfered half beam with scroll stops. The exposed joists are probably later

principal rafters.
