Description

This is a mid-19th century house, likely dating from around the 1840s. It is constructed from rubble stone and has a slate roof. The house is two storeys high and has two bays. The central entrance features a boarded door with a margined overlight, flanked by large sixteen-pane sash windows. Similar, but smaller, sash windows are located above. A brick chimney stack has been rebuilt on the left end of the building, while the original stone chimney stack remains on the right end.
