Description

The building is single storey with an attic and has a three-window range. There is a central plank door flanked by single-light casements, with two 2-light casements on either side. The cottage has three cross-gable dormers and queen post roof trusses at the left and right hand returns. At the rear, there is an outshut. The interior has not been inspected. To the right, there is a subsidiary single-storey wing that is probably from the 19th century.
