Description

This is a house, likely dating to the 16th or early 17th century, with a 19th-century facade and restoration work carried out in the mid-20th century. The house has a timber frame and is clad in weatherboarding, with a plain tile roof. It stands on a rendered plinth and is two storeys high. The roof is hipped to the left and gabled to the right. A multiple red and grey brick stack is positioned towards the centre of the building. The windows are irregular in arrangement and consist of four leaded casements: one single-light window to the left, two three-light windows, and one very small single-light window below the stack. It is believed that the mortices for a diamond mullion window once existed. Weatherboarded gable-end lean-tos are present, with a stack to the left, and a ribbed door to the right lean-to. The interior has not been inspected.
