House with forge to S end, now house. C18, C20. Red brick,

brick rendered and colour washed with slate roof, 2-light
casement window as rest. Rear, E elevation. Forge projects
slightly and both units have pilaster buttresses. House unit

casement. Forge, two 2-light casements with top light and
central French window with diamond panes. N end lean-to C20

2-light casement windows, single casement window above in

INTERIOR: refurbished in C20. Forge all renewed in 1947. House
interior also considerably renewed. 2 old principal joists
exist, a binding joist with lambs' tongue chamfer stops and a
bridging joist, more massive and apparently earlier. This has
common joists attached and carpenters' assembly marks exist on
both that match except that the common joists are not in
perfect order. These assembly marks are earlier in style than
the date of the house and the joists may have been derived
from elsewhere. The S end of the forge appears to have been
slightly lengthened in the C20 refurbishment and a diagonal
mark on the roof suggests that it was originally hipped.
