Formerly 1½ storeys, raised to 2 low storeys with 12 courses of brick;

more steeply-pitched roof, and has a blocked window opening in the old
gable. Rear has a 3-light sliding sash window to the 2nd bay but is mostly
covered by a wide C19 extension. Cottage attached at left end, of 2 lower
storeys in coursed squared stone, has a board door to the left and a
damaged 3-light sliding sash on each floor; its rear wall is mostly coursed
thin sandstone rubble but is finished with squared sandstone, and has a
2-light sliding sash with glazing bars at 1st floor, and a small
stairlight. Interior: housepart in 1st bay has inglenook with stone heck,
straight oak bressummer with cyma-stopped chamfer, and one lateral beam
with deep rounded chamfer; timber-framed partition wall to service end has
studded board door with nicked head (leading to pantry), a staircase
