Description

The Monk's House is a detached house, likely built in the 18th century. It features colourwashed flint walls and a thatched roof that is hipped at the left end, with two brick stacks on the ridge. The building has one storey and an attic, along with a 20th-century single-storey extension on the right that has a tiled roof. A part-glazed door from the 20th century is located in the thatched porch. On the ground floor, there are two casements with cast iron diamond glazing and two 20th-century casements with glazing bars. The attic includes three dormers with casements, two of which have cast iron diamond glazing.
