Description
This is a late 17th-century timber-frame house, largely obscured by a red brick facade added in the 19th century. It has a thatched roof with gabled ends, and the thatch is swept over dormer casements. The house is one storey high with an attic. The 19th-century windows are casements set within segmental-headed openings. A brick chimney stack is positioned off-centre. A lean-to has been added to the rear.
