This cottage, located approximately 40 metres west of Dorsington Manor House, dates from the late 17th century with a 19th-century addition.

The rear features a 19th-century catslide outshut that extends to the left return, where there is a small single-storey wing.
Inside, the cottage is noted for having a stop-chamfered beam and a two-bay butt-purlin roof.
