Description

It features a cruck-framed structure made of coursed squared stone and rubble, topped with a thatched roof that has a brick ridge and left end stacks. The building has a plinth and a stone-coped left gable. It stands at one and a half storeys and has three 3-light casement windows, with a door located to the left and a small 1-light window in a blocked doorway on the right. There are also three 3-light eyebrow dormers above. Inside, two pairs of raised cruck blades are partly visible.
