Formerly one house now divided into 3. Early C18 with older core. Random rubble on boulder plinth, with Welsh slate roof. 5 irregularly-spaced bays. 3 storeys. Doorway, second from left, has flat surround with roll-moulded edge, pulvinated frieze and cornice. Further late C19 plain doorways inserted in 4th bay and between 3rd and 4th. Ground and 1st floor windows are in rustic early C18 architraves. 2nd floor windows in later C18 moulded surrounds. Windows in 4th bay blocked, others have C20 sashes. To rear, one small square 4-pane window left and one blocked C17 window with moulded surround and cornice above. One stone ridge stack just to right of door. Inside many old beams, some with run-out stops. Massive principal rafters and collar beams, probably C17. Other roof timbers renewed. All internal partitions, except massively built chimney breast below ridge stack, are C20 insertions. The house may have been a cross-passage entry and an upper hall open to the roof.
