Cottage. C17, altered and extended mid-C19. Timber framed on chamfered brick plinth with plastered infill; clay tile roof with fishscale bands to front, central purplish-brown brick ridge stack and integral end stack to right. One storey and attic; probably of 3 framed bays. Framing: extensively renewed to front, 3 square panels from cill to wall plate, long and short straight tension braces. Windows to left and right of inserted mid-C19 boarded door with bracketed hood, 3-light mid-to-late C19 casements and gabled eaves dormers above, with pointed finials. The right-hand gable end is brick clad (probably mid-C19) but the original purlin ends are visible; on the left-hand end the framing is exposed and has the V-struts to the collar, characteristic of C17 roof construction. At right angles to the rear is a 2-storeyed mid-C19 brick addition, with double-span roof and a lean-to former dairy. Interior: 2 chamfered spine beams with chamfered stops to left-hand room on ground floor, infilled inglenook fireplaces. Formerly known as Cottage Farmhouse.
