Small house. Circa late C17, altered in C18, extended and modernised in C20. Rendered rubble wals with half-hipped thatched roof. 2 gable end rendered rubble stacks, the left hand one projects and the right hand one rises from the eaves at the front of the gable, both have brick shafts. 2-room plan with wide central passage, with inserted staircase, both rooms heated by gable end stack although the right-hand end stack may not be original. C20 extension at right-hand end. 2 storeys with attic. Regular 3-window front with single storey flat roofed C20 extension at right hand end. To left and on ground floor right are circa mid C20 metal frame casements without glazing bars. On first floor right of centre and right are 2-light late C20 casements with glazing bars. On ground floor right of centre is single light C19 casement with glazing bars. Late C20 gabled porch at centre with 2-light casement on front wall and part glazed door on right-hand side. Interior: left-hand room has open fireplace with new wood lintel which has been inserted beneath the original one. Insubstantial frequently spaced cross beams in this room are chamfered with hollow step stops. These probably also survive in the right-hand room at present concealed.
