Single- storey with attic; return wing increased to 2-storey. North east side: 3 segmental-arched openings to Yew Tree House, left with casement, centre blocked, right with plank door. Eaves-mounted gabled roof dormer. Segmental-arched early C18 casement to return wing; 16-pane upper floor sash and hipped roof. South east end: rendered with small off-centre attic casement; rebuilt artificial stone chimney. South west side: projecting 2-storey C20 wing with metal casements; rendered wall with 2 segmental-arched casements to right. Tall brick chimney to left. Left of wing is coursed rubble front to Lavender Cottage with segmental-arched casement and doorway with gabled porch. Raking roof dormer. Interior: timber framed partitions. The partial rebuilding of this house would suggest that it was damaged in the village fire of 1686. Timber-framed internal partitions and possibly some of the original structure survives internally. Important position on bend in road.
