Description

The property is a house, dating from the 17th century, which was refurbished in the 18th century and extended to the rear in the early 19th century. The roof was reroofed, and the upper windows altered to include hipped dormers, also in the early 19th century. The construction is of pebbledashed rubble with dressed quoins. It has a flat, swept tiled roof with stone copings, curved kneelers, and end chimneys built on stone bases. The house is two storeys and an attic, with three windows on the front. The central doorway has a half-glazed door within an early 19th-century flat surround featuring quarter-round moulding. Replacement sash windows, with glazing bars in wood box frames, are set under lintels with false voussoirs and true keystones, with projecting stone sills. There are three hipped half-dormers, each containing a 16-pane sash window that breaks the eaves.

Inside, a curved staircase features turned balusters, a ramped handrail, a closed string, and a panelled dado. The rear elevation displays two early 19th-century 12-panelled sashes and a door with an oblong fanlight. To the rear, there is an original wing dating from the early 17th century, an early 19th-century outshut, and a converted outbuilding range set back to the right.

A tall wall of coursed rubble is located on the right side of the rear yard. It has flat coping and a segmental carriage arch with cut voussoirs.
