House. Early C19. Red brick, peg-tiled roof, slated out-shut
at rear. Rectangular plan with rear out-shut, gable end
stacks, SW flush, NE projecting.
EXTERIOR: one and a half storeys. Front, SE elevation, 2
window range with central door. Ground floor, 2 large
depressed arches, rendered on interior, each with a small
early C19 2-light casement window, moulded architrave and
weathering hood, casements have glazing bars, each light 3x3
panes. Early C19 doorway inbetween with arched head and and
early C19 boarded door. C20 rudimentary wooden porch applied
to front. Above, 2 gabled dormer windows with C20 2-light
casements with glazing bars, each light 2x3 panes. Rear NW
elevation, outshut full length, wall timber-framed and
weatherboarded, clasped between plain brick gable end walls.
Central C19 boarded door, each side C20 fixed window with
glazing bars, 3x2 panes. Roof continues down as 'catslide'.
Chimney-stack rises through roof at SW end. Interior not
examined. Weatherboarded timber-framing of out-shut, one and a
half storey height and irregularity of end stack siting
suggests that the house may have an earlier core.
The house is an example of the many vernacular cottages that
were once common in Essex but which are now becoming
increasingly rare. It is little altered from its original
form.
