Description

This is a late 16th or early 17th century house, originally comprising two dwellings, and altered in the 19th century. It is timber-framed, with a rendered finish and some weatherboarding. The steeply pitched thatched roof covers four principal bays. The house is one storey and has an attic. An entrance is located between the two bays on the right-hand side, with steps leading to a plank door. A blocked entrance is visible between the two bays on the left. A plinth runs along the base. The windows are small-paned casements within flush frames, with a two-light design, and dormers are set into the roof with raking heads; tiles are set below the window sills. The central ridge has a 19th-century white brick stack built on an earlier red brick base. Exposed plates and purlins are visible. The right-hand end of the building is weatherboarded up to a dado level. The left-hand end has a weatherboarded gable over a lower, weatherboarded outshut with a hipped roof, an entrance, and a two-light casement on its return. A 20th-century flat-roofed extension projects from the rear. The interior has not been inspected.
