Description
This is a cottage dating from the 17th to 18th century, with a modern panel indicating 1657 on the front wall. It is timber-framed with a plaster render and a long straw thatch roof. There is a single flue ridge stack and a later internal stack. The cottage has three bays and one storey with an attic, featuring two dormers. Three casement windows and two doorways suggest a possible 19th-century subdivision. A fire insurance plaque is visible on the front wall. The interior has not been inspected.
