Description
A row of three dwellings, originally probably dating from the 16th century and altered later. The buildings appear to have formed a single house at one time. The exterior is pebbledashed, with a timber-framed upper floor set above a masonry ground floor. The roofs are covered with pantiles. The two storeys include a jettied top floor. Four two-light mullion and transom windows are present on the ground floor, each with an opening top vent. Two 19th-century panel doors are located in the main block, and there are four two-light first-floor windows with metal casements. A slightly off-centre axial stack rises from the building. The roof is shallow-pitched, likely dating to the 18th or 19th century. A single-storeyed side addition features a large three-light mullion and transom window and a boarded door. Various additions are visible to the rear.
