House. Probably C17. Limestone rubble with rendered rear and end walls. Bridgewater pantile roof with gabled ends. Gable end stacks with brick shafts and white clay louvred pots; the left end stack is much larger. Plan:- Appears to be a 2-room plan with a central entrance, both rooms heated from gable end stacks, the large left end stack probably serves the kitchen at this end. There seems to have been an adjoining building at the left end, which has been demolished. Exterior:- 2 storeys. Symmetrical 3-window front. C19 or C20 3-light casements, centre first floor 2-lights. Central doorway with plank door with cover-moulds and single wooden canopy. Rear elevation has 2 similar 2-light casements on first floor and small window at ground floor at centre. The masonry at the left hand gable end wall has broken away around the stack and it is possible that the house has been truncated at this end. Interior:- Only partly inspected. The left hand room has a chamfered cross-beam with stops; winder staircase at the centre, first floor not inspected.
