Description
This is a cottage, likely dating from the late 17th or early 18th century. It is timber-framed and has been rendered, with a longstraw thatched roof that is half-hipped on the right-hand side. A square ridge stack is visible. The cottage follows a three-bay lobby entry plan. It has one storey and an attic, with two gable dormers added in the mid-20th century. There are three casement windows on either side of the doorway, and a garage opening to the right.
