Description

This is a 17th-century cottage, which has been modernised. The exterior is roughcast with a mock timber effect over the original timber frame, and it has an old clay tile roof. The house is arranged in an L-shape. The two-storey wing has a gable end facing the road and features two sash windows with glazing bars in moulded surrounds. A front door on the north side is sheltered by a moulded hood supported on curved brackets. A lower back wing includes attics and a gabled dormer. A brick chimney stack is located on the south side.
