Cottage, formerly 2 cottages. Late C17. Rendered cob on a stone plinth. Thatched
roofs: the cottage to the south (formerly no.1) hipped to the left, but gabled to
the right with a large external end stack with bake-oven bulge and the cottage to
the N (formerly no.2) with half-hipped gable and end stack. Both cottages,
although later extended, were originally single-celled structures, and together
form an L-shaped plan. 2-storeyed throughout. Front of No. 1 with slightly right
of centre door with timber jambs and lintel and irregularly placed windows, 2 to
each storey, the upper-floor window lintels boxed and forming part of the wall
plate. C19 9- and 12-pane casements. No. 2 is altogether smaller, with its door
placed close to the angle formed by L-plan. Internally, both cottages retain
large, chamfered beams, and a renewed newel staircase. No. 1 has original
fireplace with stone back and jambs and brick-lined side oven. Roofs of principal
rafters and collars. The upper storey of No. 2 has its early floorboards, all
broad but of irregular width.
