Description

St Michaels is a house built as a pair in the early 18th century, with an extension added at the back in the late 18th century. It features a timber frame with a red brick casing and a steeply pitched machine tile roof. There are large external stacks at each end of the building. The house has two storeys, with the front displaying three 20th-century glazing bar casements and a 20th-century door set in an 18th-century frame. The right door of the pair has been blocked. Inside, the layout consists of two bays with wide inglenooks at each end.
