Cottage. Mid-late C17 with C19 extension. Plastered cob on rubble footings, brick extensions; probably cob stack with plastered chimney shaft of probably C20 brick; thatch roof, corrugated iron to extension. 2-room plan cottage facing south with large left (western) end stack. Secondary service outshot to rear. Cottage is 2 storeys. Irregular 2-window front of C19 casements with glazing bars. The first floor windows have thatch eyebrows over. The front doorway is roughly central and contains a C19 part-glazed 4-panel door. A flat-roofed C20 conservatory has been erected in front of the door and window to the left. The roof is hipped to right and half-hipped to left. Interior: the C17 fabric remains essentially intact. The 2 rooms are divided by a cob crosswall. The larger heated room has the original soffit-chamfered and late step-stopped crossbeam. The fireplace is blocked by a C20 grate but the large fireplace is known to survive behind. The roof is inaccessible but the feet of the principals show and suggest that the roof structure is original.
