Cottage. Early C14 with C16, C18 and c.1920 additions and alterations. Timber-framed and plastered, painted brick. Long straw thatch and plain tile roofs. Local brick ridge stack. One storey and attic. Aisled hall of two bays has further two bays to east and demolished bay or cross-wing to south; the arcade plates and unjowled posts survive with evidence of passing braces and one truncated brace in north-west post. Late C16 inserted floors and stack. Single storey extension to west, late C18 or early C19, replaces one bay or cross-wing to the aisled hall. (The brace to north-west post suggests a continuation of the arcade as an internal wall to an enclosed part of the aisle or cross-wing). North elevation; tall gabled facade dormer window with horizontal sliding sashes, two ground floor casement windows and boarded door. Interior details include two inglenook hearths with chamfered mantel beams, and cased and exposed main timbers of aisled hall. Chamfered floor joists to hall.
