Description
This is likely a 17th-century timber-framed cottage, originally with a lobby-entry plan, and later extended to the west by an additional bay. The cottage is one storey high with an attic. The exterior is roughcast rendered and has an old plain tile roof. A tall ridge stack is present, as are three gabled dormer windows. There are three casement windows and a modern panelled door facing west.
