Description
This is a two-bay house, likely dating from the early 19th century, incorporating remains from the 17th century. The exterior is painted render with painted window surrounds and a slate roof. The windows are 20th-century timber casements. A painted surround frames the doorway, which is situated between the bays. A chimney on the left-hand side has a round cap set on a square base, suggesting an earlier date than the facade. A chimney on the right is shared with the adjacent property at No. 88.
