Description

Sparrows is a late 17th century two-bay house constructed of flint with brick dressings, featuring a band course, moulded eaves, and a plinth. The eaves cornice extends around the corner to the flank of the building. It is two storeys tall, plus dormers, and has an old tiled roof. There is a large brick stack on the south side. The windows are leaded casements, likely original, and there is a gabled two-light dormer. The house has been significantly extended to the west, south-west, and north in the 20th century.
