Small house. Probably late C18. Whitewashed rendered cob on stone rubble footings; thatched roof gabled at ends; end stacks with brick shafts. 2 rooms wide with heated rooms on either side of a central stair with narrow unheated service rooms to the rear. The service rooms are probably integral. A weatherboarded single-storey lean-to adjoining the right end may be a later addition providing extra service rooms. 2 storeys. Front elevation unexpectedly tall for a small village house with a deep thatched roof. Symmetrical 2 window front with regular fenestration and central front door under a thatched porch carried on posts. Front door with fielded panels, top panels glazed. C20 2-light casements, 2 panes per light. A small area of pitched stones separates the front elevation from the High Street pavement. Interior: The plan is largely intact except for the rear left service room which has been incorporated into the front left room. C20 grates. No. 12 forms a group with nos. 16 and 18 (qv). An undated photograph in Rowland's Ide shows a blocked window in the centre above the porch.
