Description
This is a thatched cottage, originally two cottages combined into one dwelling, dating to the 17th century. The building has a timber frame with colourwashed render and a thatched roof. It is a single-storey structure with attics. The front of the cottage features doorways at the right and left of centre, each with 4-centred heads and moulded muntins. There are two 3-light windows near the centre, also with 4-centred heads to the lights, and two 2-light windows to the far right and left, similarly featuring 4-centred heads. Two 2-light gabled dormer windows, decorated with bargeboards, are visible in the attic. A rectangular chimneystack sits at the centre of the ridge, featuring a central recessed rectangular datestone which is now defaced. A 19th-century single-storey wing is slightly recessed on the left side. The right-hand gable end has a plank door on the left and a 2-light casement window on the first floor with richly moulded bargeboards. The left-hand gable end exhibits a 19th-century wing and decorated bargeboards to the gable.
