Description
This is a house in a row, possibly dating back to the 16th century, though significantly altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed from random rubble with ashlar dressings, and has a double Roman clay tiled roof with an abutment on the north side and a plain gable on the south side. A brick chimney stack is also present.
The exterior presents two storeys and three bays. The windows are casements with horizontal glazing bars. The ground floor windows are three-light and sit under timber lintels. First-floor windows are two-light, with the window in the first bay partially set into a lead-clad dormer. The window in the second bay has chamfered stone surrounds, while the window in the third bay has a plain opening. The entrance is in the second bay and features a 20th-century boarded door within a moulded four-centre arch, which may be of 16th-century origin. A plain south gable is present, along with a low extension to the rear.
The interior was not inspected during the listing process.
