Rendered, some limewashed rubble to back of hold- ings and to ground floor of Houghton Cottage. Holdings is left half of broad frontage in 2 storeys and upper level presumably former attic; set back portion has a small 2-light casement with horizontal bars above a C20 wide 3-light case- ment and a very small square light to the right of a lean-to porch with solid cheeks to a broad studded plank door which gives to cross passage behind a ridge stack; small stack also to left gable end, with a single storey extension which is not of special interest. First bay of set-forward front appears to belong to Holdings, with a casement at each level. At back is lean-to porch with glazed doors and various casements including three 2-light at first floor. Front eaves at higher level than back. Stair rises by renewed bressumer fire to right room.

First floor has three 2-light. Between middle and outer bays is a set forward in the walling near eaves, possibly registering a point of extension. Return gable has two C20 2-light casements above a 2-light C19, and similar in gabled extension. Back has gabled end, C20 windows, and glazed conservatory over a gap to a one storey extension in swept-down roof. Large stack in internal angle and possible bread oven.
