Originally a fully timber-framed house of at least 2 bays with an aisle to rear. Probably late C16. Front and east gable walls of narrow hand-made bricks of early C18 appearance. A single course of large stones at base of front wall. Brick dentilled eaves. Pantile roof of very steep pitch which is continuous over outshot at rear and has a parapet at the east gable. 2 storeys in present form. 2 bays. Front: C19 small sash windows, entrance to right with modern door and blocked entrance to centre. To the left a roughly oval patch of cement rendering suggesting a blocked oval fire window of C17 type. Rear: timber frame exposed but disturbed by later building. Interior: much exposed timber including posts, braces and the beams, an inglenook beam and a section of wattle-and-daub filling. The roof structure consists of stout common rafters, pegged at apex and linked by slightly cambered collars about 1/3 of the way between apex and tie-beam. The rafters over the aisle run from the arcade plate to the wall plate. B Harrison, Report, 1973, North Yorkshire and Cleveland Vernacular Buildings Study Group.
