It is listed separately in the Census Returns for the same year, occupied by Jane Parry and Robert Edward, Blacksmith.

Cottage a 2-window range with widely spaced windows to either end and the doorway strongly offset to the L (S) between. Modern door in rendered gabled porch, ground floor windows are fixed 6-pane lights, 1st floor with small 2-pane top-hung casements set directly under the eaves; slate sills.

Reasons for Listing

Listed as an early C19 one-and-a-half-storey cottage, which demonstrates an intermediate phase of cottage development, falling between the lofted cottage of the C18 and the 2-storey house of the later C19, and which retains its vernacular character.
