Detached house. Probably early C16 much altered in the C19. Cob and stone mix, with
some brick patching, roughcast, the left-hand gable wall refaced in corrugated iron,
all under synthetic slate gabled end roof. Formerly a 3-room cross-passage house,
the left-hand room (probably the lower end) rebuilt in the C19, its roof-ridge line
considerably higher than the rest of the building. Axial stack at this junction;
formerly external; rear lateral stack; both with brick shafts. 2 storeys.
Front: (now facing away from road), one 12-pane horned sash window to each floor of
C19 rebuild; the remainder a 4-window range, 1 window with a C19 casement, barred,
the others C20 metal casements; 4 casement windows to ground floor; C20 covered
porch; 12-pane hornless sash window above timber lean-to porch at left-hand end; rear
elevation with 4 C19 and C20 casement windows.
Interior: 3 axial beams to hall, chamfered, 2 with run-out stops, 1 with hollow-step
stops.
Roof with 2 crossed, morticed and pegged trusses (probably late C16 or C17), but over
the hall, 1 jointed cruck, slightly smoke-blackened.
