Description
The Old House is an early 18th century timber-framed and plastered building, originally a range of cottages that has been converted into a single tenement. It has one storey and attics, featuring small casement windows with lattice leaded lights. The roof is thatched and hipped, with four gabled dormers. The building has been renovated.
