Description

This is a late 18th-century house, altered in the 20th century. It is timber-framed with plaster panels and a roof of handmade red clay tiles. The house is arranged on a square plan with the main entrance facing southwest, overlooking the farmstead, and gardens to the northwest and northeast. There are two internal chimney stacks. A single-story lean-to extension has been added to the southeast. The house is two stories high.

The southwest elevation, which faces the farmstead, has a two-window arrangement of 18th-century sash windows, each with 16 lights. A four-panel door, with glazed upper panels, is set at the centre, and has a 20th-century fretted gable above it. There are two small gables with 20th-century fretted bargeboards. The northwest elevation, facing the road, has two ground-floor 18th-century sash windows, each with 20 lights and crown glass, which have been reset within 20th-century square bays. Above these are two 18th-century sash windows, also with 16 lights and crown glass. The northeast elevation, facing the church, has two similar windows on the ground floor, and three similar windows and one with 12 lights on the first floor. Modern double-glazed doors incorporate an 18th-century fanlight with radial tracery. Crown glass is present in most of the sash windows.
