One storey and attic; two C20 casements with segmental heads to left and right of original part with C20 gabled eaves dormer between; entrance through C20 door in extension to right with contemporary casements to left and right; red brick ridge stack formerly integral to right gable end. Interior: not inspected but noted as having timber- framed cross wall to centre of original part and chamfered spine beam with heavy joists to right-hand ground-floor room; apex of cruck truss destroyed.
