Description
This is a house dating from the mid-18th century, and it has been restored at a later date. It is constructed of rubble stone and has a stone slate roof. The house is two storeys high and comprises five bays. The front of the house, facing the street, is largely hidden by climbing plants. Two doorways have been blocked up, featuring lightly incised lintel decoration. The windows are recessed, square-mullioned windows, with three lights each, except for the window on the right-hand side of the ground floor, which has five lights. There are three chimneys. The rear of the house features two windows similar in style to the front, along with two more recently created copies.
