Description
Wisteria is a house with a 19th-century front, now rendered in pebbledash, but likely incorporating an earlier structure, possibly dating back to the 16th or 17th century, similar to the neighbouring properties at numbers 27 and 29. The house is two storeys high and has a three-window front. The windows are double-hung sashes with glazing bars, set in plain reveals. The central window on the first storey is blocked. A central 20th-century door is surrounded by a stucco doorcase featuring pilasters and a cornice. The roof is tiled and hipped at the east end. The property is included in the listing primarily for its contribution to the group value of numbers 27 to 31, when considered together.
