Description
Lift The Latch and the adjoining cottage to the south is a 17th century timber-framed house that has been divided into two separate dwellings. It features a plastered exterior and a black glazed pantile roof with gabled ends. There is an off-centre brick chimney stack. The building has two storeys and an attic, with attic windows located in the end gables. The windows include late 19th century sashes and early 19th century casements. The entrance to "Lift the Latch" is positioned in front of the chimney stack and is adorned with a moulded architrave, a panelled door, and a rectangular fanlight. There is a later lean-to structure on the south end and a later outbuilding attached to the north end.
