Description
A pair of attached houses, dating from the late 17th century, later combined into a single dwelling and altered in the mid-19th century. The house is built of squared and coursed rubble on the west end and uncoursed rubble on the east, with stone dressings. The west end has ashlar coping, and the roof is continuous with pantiles, gabled to the west and hipped to the east, featuring end, mid-ridge, and external ashlar stacks. The layout is a double-depth plan, originally comprising two houses arranged in a continuous range parallel to the road.
The two-storey exterior has a four-window front. It features ovolo-moulded mullions with dripstones and small-pane casements throughout. The ground floor windows of the second and third bays are attenuated, while the first floor has smaller two-light windows. A doorway situated at the junction of the two former houses on the right has a recessed design, a flat stone hood supported on brackets, and a panelled door with a rectangular fanlight. The interior of the house has not been inspected.
Attached to the front is a rubble wall with ashlar coping, defining the front area. The attenuated length of the ground-floor mullion windows suggests that most of the openings, with the possible exception of the first-floor window on the left, may have been renewed during a mid-19th century restoration.
