South elevation 1 storey (upper floor removed in C19), 3 + 2 bays. Main part has left-of-centre renewed door in bolection-moulded surround under entablature with triglyph frieze incorporating relief-carved panel with date -71- (?). Cross windows in moulded surrounds with cornices. Coped right gable; right end stack. Slightly-lower right part, partly behind C20 extension, has raised reverse- stepped coping to right end. Left return shows another cross window, exposed within adjacent house. Rear elevation shows blocked stair window and small window beneath. Interior: West room, formerly parlour, has original moulded fireplace with flat-pointed arch within square frame. Plainer 1st-floor fireplace above now visible in roofspace. East addition has two upper-cruck roof trusses with collars and the ridge-piece (renewed) carried between the overlapped ends of the blades.
