Description

A two-unit house, now of 1½ storeys, ranging east/west with its east gable to the road, with a small later 1½ storey wing to the south. Stone, informally rendered, with random slate roofs and tile ridges. The gable of a former dormer to the right unit survives and the slates of its valleys are laced. Stone end chimneys to the main range and stone lateral chimney to the later wing, all with C19 brick stacks; the end chimney at west of the main range is large and its upper part is brought to a more circular form and given stone ribs. Modern low extension for the full width of the rear.

The windows at front (south) and to the road (east) are all C19 with horned single-glazing bar sashes, perhaps restored at the same time as the addition of the south wing which has similar windows. Main door and door to the south wing both boarded; light porch to the former.

Two-unit interior to the main part, divided by a timber-framed partition containing an oak boarded door. The timber framing of the exterior walls survives in places. The kitchen (to west) has a single longitudinal beam chamfered and with tongue stops. The parlour (to east) has two beams also chamfered and stopped. The kitchen hearth has a massive oak bressummer, chamfered and stopped, and at right a large bread oven (with its own flue) and an iron door marked 'Coalbrookdale 14'. Large open chimney.

At first storey level is a front dormer of C17 form to the east unit, now filled and with the roof of the later wing abutting. The west unit formerly had a lower ceiling, as there was an occupiable attic above, the blocked fireplace of which is partly visible in the roof space.

The later wing has its own stairs, with mid-height connection to the inner room of the house at ground floor only.
