Description
This is a house, likely dating from the early 17th century, with an added 17th-century cross-wing which served as a dairy or service building on the left side. The right side of the house is rendered, probably over a stone rubble base, with a painted rendered plinth. The left side features exposed timber framing with rendered infill. The roof is thatched on the right and half-hipped with old plain tiles on the cross-wing, with a brick ridge stack and an internal stack on the cross-wing.
The main part of the house is single-storey and has three windows, while the cross-wing is two-storeys high with two windows. A plank door is centrally positioned. 20th-century casement windows are on the right side. A former bread oven protrudes to the right of the door. The cross-wing has an irregular arrangement of casement windows. An angled two-storey oriel bay window extends from the end of the cross-wing, featuring a mullion and transom window on the ground floor and a mullion window on the first floor; the top has a false gable.
The interior has not been inspected, but it is believed to contain a staircase with a cut balustrade. It is noted in a 1975 publication, English Vernacular Houses, by E. Mercer.
