Description

The Nookery is a small brick house dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century, now covered in roughcast. It has two storeys, featuring two windows on the upper storey and one three-light window on the ground storey, all fitted with double-hung sashes that have glazing bars in the upper windows. The roof is tiled and includes a central chimney stack. There is a modern addition with a lean-to roof at the south end of the building. The property is included for its group value.
