Cottage. Late C16 or C17. Rendered stone or cob. Thatched roof, gabled each end.
1½-storeys, with single-storey lean-to (probably a later addition) against north-
east gable fronting the road. Projecting chimney-stack in north-east gable having
tapered top, this surmounted by a later rendered shaft. On rear (north-west) side
a rectangular projection, probably an oven. Front (to south-east) has doorway off-
centre to left; square-headed chamfered wood frame, C19 lean-to porch. One window
to either side in ground storey with corresponding swept dormers above, the right-
hand one a swept dormer. All windows have C20 metal casements. Interior has
irregular 3-room ground plan, probably dating largely from C19. Ceiling has no
main beams, only plain joists running from front to back walls, those in main
(north-east) room particularly thick. In centre of rear wall a projecting semi-
circular stair turret. Upper storey not inspected. Fireplaces and other features
of interest probably hidden under plaster.
