Description

This is a farmhouse, likely dating to the 17th century or earlier. It is timber-framed and was re-clad with weatherboarding in the early 19th century. The roof is hipped and covered with plain tiles, with a red brick chimney stack near the ridge on the right-hand side, featuring four diagonally-set shafts. The farmhouse has two storeys and three evenly spaced modern casement windows. A door porch is located on the left-hand side.
