Description
Merrie End is a house dating from the mid 18th century and 19th century. It is constructed from rendered cob, brick, and lias, topped with a combination of thatch and slate roofing. The building likely started as a two-unit plan and features two storeys with an attic. The front has a two-window range of casements, with the left window having leaded lights and some crown glass. The left side of the roof is covered in 19th-century slate, while the right side retains thatch. A central brick stack is present, and the entrance is located at the rear. The interior has not been inspected.
