Description

This is a cottage, likely dating to the 17th century or earlier, with later additions and alterations. It is timber framed and rendered with plaster, and has a red plain tiled roof. Red brick chimney stacks are located on the left and external right sides. The cottage comprises a two-storey gabled crosswing to the left of a one-storey-and-attic range. This latter range features two flat-headed dormers. The window arrangement is 1:1, with 20th-century casement windows incorporating transoms. A 20th-century vertically boarded door is present.
