Description
This is a probably 18th-century house, originally two cottages and later converted into a farmhouse. It has undergone alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The ground floor is built of painted brick, while the first floor is clad in fishscale tiles. The roof is covered in plain tiles and is hipped, with a rear stack near the top of the left hip and a ridge stack towards the right end. Two small gabled dormers are situated between the stacks. The windows are arranged irregularly, featuring four three-light casements. A 20th-century panelled door is slightly off-centre to the right, sheltered by a flat, corniced hood. A lean-to is attached to the left. The interior remains uninspected.
