Description
This is an early 17th century timber-framed cottage, later plastered with brick gable ends. It has a thatched roof and originally one storey with an attic. The front facade features three windows, which are mostly modern casements with glazing bars. There is one dormer window with a casement, a plain tiled roof, and a barge board. The plasterwork retains remnants of decorative imitation ashlar detailing. A brick stack is located on the ridge of the roof.
