Description

This is a house or farmhouse, likely dating from the 17th century, that was remodelled as a cottage ornée in the later 19th century. The exterior is roughcast render with stucco hood moulds over the windows; the left side has a dry slate roof, while the right side has a steeply pitched asbestos slate roof, both with shaped bargeboards. There is a rendered rubble and brick stack on the front, to the right of centre, with two 19th-century tapered clay pots, and a truncated end stack on the left.

The building has a single-depth, two-room plan, with a central entrance passage. The room to the right was originally the hall, and the room to the left was likely a parlour, and was heightened in the mid-19th century. There is a shallow extension to the rear.

The house is two storeys high, with a three-window front. The central window is positioned over a porch, and the larger window on the right is a gabled dormer, both breaking the eaves. It has late 19th-century horned sash windows. The central doorway has a chamfered surround with a squat two-centred arch, and a gabled arch-braced porch hood supported on corbels. The door is four-panelled. The right-hand return has two windows, each with a hood mould. The interior has not been inspected.
