2 houses. Circa early C18 extended to rear in circa mid C19. Front elevation remodelled in circa mid C19. Painted and rendered stone rubble with asbestos slate roof to front slope and rag slate roof to rear slope. Projecting truncated stone rubble chimney stack in higher gable end. Rendered brick chimney stack in lower gable end and in gable end of rear projecting wing. Projecting stone rubble rear lateral hall stack with brick shaft. Appears to have been a 3-room plan house originally with its back built into the hillside and with gable end stacks and front lateral hall stack, and possibly a cross passage. In circa mid C19 it was subdivided into 2 houses, heightened to 3 storeys, re-orientated with the higher rear level becoming the front and a wing added at the rear (original front) of the lower level. Alternatively it could simply be a pair of 2-storey houses built over cellars facing lower ground level at rear. Mill Hill elevation of 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 3-window front. Ground floor with 2 C19 4-pane sashes, C19 doorcase with panelled pilasters and part glazed panelled door. Flat hood. C19 4-pane sash to right. In right-hand range comprising The Briar, part glazed C20 door and C20 casement with glazing bars, both beneath timber lintels. First floor with three 4-pane sashes is gabled half-dormers. Rear elevation asymmetrical with regular 3-storey wing at lower left-hand end. Interior with probably C18 ceiling beams. The Briar and upper floor of Oversteps not inspected.
