Contemporary with the neighbouring Forge Cottage which is dated 1846. Built as a smithy
for the Penpont estate; converted to domestic accommodation in C20. Two similar ranges each side of the lane are marked on the 1838 Tithe map, as a smith's shop, house and garden. The low rubble wall to left has an inset VR letterbox.

One large gabled dormer to left, probably C20. One storey and attic, 3-bay W front with stepped gable to projecting central bay. Unusually stilted hoodmould over square gable window, with stone sill and C20 glazing. Flat Tudor arch to broad centre cart entry, with stone voussoirs, the entry now with recesses glazing and door. Similar Tudor heads to doors each side, the left one now with C20 window, C20 door in right one. S end gable has two cambered-headed windows, the lower one in a blocked doorway. Doorway to rear which also has swept roof dormer. Blank N gable end. Overhanging verges. Lean-to pigsty at rear.
