House, previously divided into cottages. C18, perhaps earlier.

EXTERIOR: the main elevation faces north and is of three wide bays and two storeys. The front door is positioned between the eastern two bays, a small inserted window being placed to its right (west). The door is vertically boarded and set beneath a brick flat arch. All three bays have a broad window to each floor also with brick flat arches and projecting sills; the central ground floor window previously being narrower, now having a reconstituted stone lintel set beneath a residual brick arch. The joinery for these large windows consists of modern Yorkshire horizontal sliding sashes each of three lights of six panes, the flanking lights being fixed. The gables are raised and coped and have brick end stacks.
