Description
This is a house, likely dating to the 17th century or earlier. It’s built with a timber frame and has been plastered, with a thatched roof. Originally, it had three or four bays facing northwest. There's an external stack at the rear and a 19th-century internal stack at the left end. The house has a single storey with attics. On the ground floor are two 18th-century windows with three lights, which have been altered and feature rectangular and diamond leading respectively. There are also two 20th-century casement windows with diamond leading, and three more in tiled gabled dormers. The front has two boarded doors, one of which includes a small diamond-glazed window. Some old chevron pargetting is visible within panels.
