Three bay thatched vernacular single storey direct entry, mud and brick, thatched house with lean-to shed abutting lower northern gable. Building faces east onto a ‘street’. Barns on the other side are in two rows perpendicular to the house. Projecting flat roofed entrance porch with mock ashlar coursing painted on in bright blue and 1955 in relief over the entrance door. Door is sheeted and painted. Two pane sash window to southern end. Two windows to northern side of porch facing onto a low walled garden. Timber sash to kitchen, metal window to lower room. Front wall harled and painted white with projecting plinth course betraying the irregular setting out of the wall. Thatch is fixed by the scollop method and has a flush ridge. Fixings are hidden with the exception of a single hazel ligger along the eaves. Southern gable smooth rendered and painted white. Timber rail nailed to wall three quarters of the way up as part of a previous attempt to keep render on wall. Thatched roof turned down over top and sides of gable wall. Currently a small crack to the junction with the front wall. There is a large crack, 30mm wide in places at the junction with the rear elevation. The concrete plinth is carried around this elevation and there is a wide seugh (900mm) before ground slopes up and away from the building. The rear elevation has two small windows to the upper structural bay one a two pane sash, the other a four pane casement has been painted white. The central bay has a single two pane sash directly opposite the entrance door. The lower bay has two sash windows. The lower bay is constructed of brick which as been white washed. The other bays appear to have a smooth lime render which has been whitewashed. There is evidence of patching in places particularly over the whitened window. The plinth course and concrete sheugh return along this elevation and end in a muddy field boundary at the lean-too shed. The wall is leaning outwards along the upper part of the southern bay. The northern elevation of the house is in brick partly obscured by the lean-too shed but all in bad condition. A small two pane sash lights an attic room the surrounding bricks on the exterior have crumbled away. Three chimneys on the roof on top of all walls but the southern gable. Thatch abuts concrete parapet at brick wall. There is a deep overhang at the eaves (500mm)
