Former poorhouse, then 4 cottages, now one house. Mid C17 with
later extension. Limestone rubble with dressed stone quoins;
stone slate to the east facing roof pitch, slate at rear; stumps
of two ashlar stacks both heightened in brick; one rendered stack.
Rectangular plan with the gable end to the road; lean-to extension
to the rear. Two storeys with 1½ storey lean-to at the rear.
Three 2-light ovolo-moulded stone-mullioned casements with
horizontal glazing bars and traces of red colour wash to the ground
floor; 2-light fixed casements with horizontal glazing bars and
dressed stone surrounds infilling former doorways. Two 4-light
wooden casements with horizontal glazing bars to the first floor.
Central C20 plank door with a C20 timber lintel within a C20 rubble
porch. Three plank doors with early hinges and thumb latches. The
far left-hand doorway is within an open-sided C20 porch; small
reused trefoil-headed stone window to the right of the porch;
three 2-light casements to the ground and first floors. Gable-end
