Description
This is a cottage dating from the 18th and 19th centuries, with earlier origins possibly going back to the late medieval period. It is timber-framed, with a rendered and whitewashed exterior and a Welsh slate roof. A brick stack is situated at the left end. The cottage has a gable facing, with its front on the right. The windows are leaded-light casements, including two 2-light windows, a door, and a 3-light window on the front. There are two 3-light dormers above. On the left-hand gable, a small 1-light window is visible, along with a pair of cruck blades. Inside, beams are present, and only the bottom parts of a further pair of cruck blades remain.
