Description
This is a 17th-century cottage, originally comprising two and a half bays. It is timber-framed with a plain tiled roof at the front and 20th-century pantiles at the rear. The walls are largely of whitened brick panels. A rebuilt brick ridge stack is located towards the centre right. The left end of the building shows some rebuilding, but a queen post gable remains visible. The windows are 20th-century, 2-light leaded casements. A 20th-century porch and door are centrally positioned, and a garage door is on the left. The rear elevation is similar in appearance.
