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.
