House, originally two cottages, dating to the late 17th century, with extensions added in 1856 and the 20th century. The walls are plastered cob on rubble footings, with 20th-century blockwork; the stack is of cob or rubble topped with 20th-century brick; and the roofs are thatched. Initially, the building comprised a pair of single-room cottages facing south, with mirror-image plans arranged around a central cob dividing wall. A single-room extension from 1856 was added to the rear of the right (east) cottage, under a parallel roof, and a 20th-century single-bay extension was added to the left (west). The front now has an overall five-window facade. A thatched porch and two upper windows are part of the 20th-century extension. The remaining three windows are wooden casements; the ground floor windows are from the 19th century, and the first-floor windows are 20th century. A glazed door is located to the right of centre in its original position, and a door to the left has been blocked and replaced with a window. A first-floor window was inserted into the centre in the 20th century. The roof is hipped at each end, a feature present prior to the 1856 extension. The rear block is dated by an iron rainwater head in the angle of the wings, bearing the date 1856 and a Star of David motif. The original rooms contain axial crossbeams, chamfered with straight cut stops, and remnants of diagonal corner fireplaces sharing a rear stack. The original roof is a four-bay structure with A-frame trusses and pegged lap-jointed collars.
