This building is an attached cottage next to The Forge, which serves as a blacksmith's shop. It is constructed from rubble with timber bargeboards on the smithy.

All windows have concrete sills. There is an attached rubble lower shed to the right with a planked door and timber lintel, and an inserted 9-pane window in the gable. A large 20th-century extension is located at the rear.
