Description
This is a small 17th-century cottage, or possibly earlier. It is timber-framed with a painted brick front and has a thatched roof with gabled ends. The cottage is two storeys high and has two windows, which are small two- and three-light casements. There is a plain, central boarded door. A small, single-storey thatched roof wing extends from the north side at a right angle. A later brick chimney stack is situated at the end of the building.
