Description
A house, dating from the 17th century, was restored and altered in the 1970s. The house is timber-framed with exposed framing and some straight braces. The infilling is a mix of plaster and painted brick. It has a thatched roof with coped brick gable end parapets and kneelers. There are end stacks on the left and right, and two smaller stacks behind the ridge to the left and right of the centre. Two eyebrow dormers are present. The house is one-and-a-half storeys high, with an irregular fenestration of four windows on the ground floor. To the left of the doorways are two small windows, with a single window below the eaves to the left of centre. The windows are wooden casements with lead latticing. There is a planked door. The interior has been largely renewed.
