Cottage. Possibly C16 origins, some evidence for C17 plan, mainly C19 or C20

or early C19. Two storeys: ground floor has C20 door to thatched hood, left,
then 2-light and single casement; to right a thatched quadrant of mid C20, and a
3-light in slated lean-to running out to street edge. First floor has 2-light

storeys, with various 2-light glazing-bar casements to wood lintols, and 2 to
eyebrows. Good C19 door in peaked head. Interior of main block has stone
spiral stair left of entry, deep chamfered and stopped beam, stone overmantel to

different fenestration; the quadrant had not then been added. A fine building
holding an important position visually in the settlement.
