Description
This is a small house, likely dating from the 18th century. It is constructed from painted stone rubble and cob, with a thatched water reed roof and brick chimneys on the gable ends. The house originally comprised two rooms. The symmetrical south front has three windows. The central door is a top-glazed 4-panel design, with a glazed porch added in the 20th century, featuring a hipped slate roof. The ground floor windows are 12-pane, 2-light casements added in the 20th century, and the first floor has two original 12-pane, 2-light casements. The windows are all under wooden lintels. A small 20th-century extension is present at the rear. The interior has not been inspected.
