Description
Scribbins is an early 19th century cottage that has been altered and extended in the 20th century. The ground floor is painted brick, while the first floor is tile hung, with a tiled roof and brick chimneystacks at each end. It is a two-storey, two-window cottage with two-light casement windows. A large, modern lean-to extension has been added, designed to match the original style.
