Description
This is a house, originally divided into smaller dwellings, dating to the late 17th and early 18th centuries, with alterations made in the early 19th century. The structure is built from marlstone rubble with ashlar detailing and features a thatched roof, with gable stacks constructed of limestone ashlar. The house follows a three-unit plan, incorporating an added porch wing.
The front façade is regular, displaying four windows. A two-story porch constructed of ashlar is centrally positioned on the right side. It includes a wooden Gothick entrance screen, a continuous stone drip mould, and a two-light stone-mullioned window at the first floor level, complete with a label; the gable is adorned with a cusped bargeboard. A plank door is located within the porch, alongside a blocked second entrance. The ground floor windows have 19th-century chamfered stone surrounds with labels, housing three-light casements. The first floor also features three three-light casements. All windows have lattice glazing. The 19th-century chimney stacks include plinths and moulded caps. The interior has not been inspected.
