walls. Gable ended thatch roof. Rubble lateral stack at front with brick shaft.
Brick stack at right gable end.
Plan: 2-room and through-passage plan with smaller room to the right and left-hand
room (hall) heated by front lateral stack. Originally open to the roof with central
hearth to hall, probably open from end to end. Ceiled in circa early-mid C17 and
stack inserted. C19 and C20 outshut added at rear.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 2-window front of late C19 4-pane sashes except
for circa early C19 small paned bow window on ground floor to left. Contemporary 6-
panelled door to right of centre.
Interior: cobbled through passage. C17 plank and muntin screen to left side of
passage has simply moulded edges to muntins, the left-hand side of the screen is
more crudely finished. The door to the screen is made from a section of high
quality C17 panelling found on the first floor of the house. Hall fireplace has
chamfered wooden lintel and dressed stone jamb to the right which is chamfered on
the outside. A small C19 leaded pane light is incorporated in the right-hand side
wall of the fireplace. Cloam oven. First floor fireplace also has chamfered wooden
lintel.
Roof: one original timber of cruck form survives with a morticed apex but ridge
collar and purlins now gone. It is difficult to tell if the truss is smoke-
blackened or not but some obviously smoke-blackened rafters survive.
