Description
The Old House is a house dated 1698, as indicated by a plaster panel inside. It has a rendered plinth and a facade that mimics timber framing, with roughcast panels, likely set on a timber frame, and a thatched roof. The house is single-storied with an attic, and has a four-window front. A plank door is located to the left of the centre. The windows are a mix of 20th-century two-light casements, arranged irregularly. There are four swept dormers, each containing a 20th-century two-light casement. The interior was not inspected.
