Description
This is a small house dating from the late 17th or early 18th century, with a 20th-century extension to the rear. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with wooden lintels and has a thatched roof. The house originally had a 2-unit plan with an outshut at the end, and it retains this layout. The front has a 2-window arrangement with a central doorway sheltered by a thatched canopy. It features three-light casement windows on the ground floor, flanked by a tiled outshut on the left, and two-light casement windows in half-dormers above. The interior was not inspected.
