Cottage. C15 with C17 and C19 additions. Cob, stone plinth, rendered, under half- hipped thatched roofs; the C19 wing of brick under similar roof. A medieval range (with remains of a smoke-blackened roof) but too altered to determine original plan- type lies end-on to the road; a C17 wing extends at right angles to this forming an L-shaped plan. A C19 brick wing fills the inner angle of the L-plan. Front: (of older range). 2-window range to right of large external stack with bake-oven projection and brick shaft; all 4 windows of 2-lights, 6 panes per light, C19, those above under eyebrow eaves. Left-hand end with tiled and boarded porch below 2-light window. Roadside front with large external stack and a 1 and 2-light timber casement window. Porch (pantiled) to right-hand end, and 2 light window. Rear of this range (where not observed by C19 wing) with one 2-light window under eyebrow eaves. Interior: main fireplace with chamfered lintel with run-out stops. Roof: one smoke-blackened closed truss, morticed and side pegged at apex, with part of diagonal ridge-piece.
