late C20. Granite rubble with dressed granite quoins and lintels. Thatched roof
with gabled ends; the left hand gable end has a moulded kneeler at the front.
Dressed granite gable end stacks and dripcources, the left hand stack has a moulded
dripcource and cap.
Plan: Double depth plan. Originally the house had 2 front rooms the kitchen to the
left and parlour to the right, both heated from gable end stacks; and unheated rooms
in an integral rear outshut. In the C19 the house was divided into 2 cottages. In
the late C20 it was reunited and the partitions between the front rooms were removed
creating one large room and a staircase inserted into the rear outshut.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Nearly symmetrical 2-window front, the windows and doorway
disposed towards the right. C20 12-pane sashes with granite lintels and cills.
Central doorway with granite lintel and a C20 plank door; a blocked doorway
immediately to its right.
The thatched roof at the rear extends down to the lower eaves over the rear outshut.
Interior: A very large fireplace at the left hand end has unchamfered granite lintel
and jambs and a stone-lined oven in the left hand side. At the right hand end a
smaller fireplace also with an unchamfered granite lintel and jambs but without an
oven. These fireplaces were originally porbably concealed by chimney-pieces. The
interior has been completely altered in the late C20 and no early joinery survives.
