Description

A 17th-century range of cottages, now combined into a single house, stands on the north side of Castor Peterborough Road. The building is constructed of long-coursed stone rubble with a thatched roof featuring gabled ends. It is one storey high with an attic. The front elevation has three 3-light casement windows on the ground floor, along with two plank doors. A wide brick garage has been inserted on the left-hand side. Three dormers are located above the eaves, each containing a 2-light casement window with glazing bars. A brick ridge stack is positioned off-centre.
