Cottage, enlarged to 2 dwellings, converted subsequently to one. Late C17, enlarged C18, altered late C20.
Rendered over rubble and cob, thatched roof hipped to right, large external stone stack left gable end.
Plan: probably originally single cell with 2-bay linhay adjoining, enlarged one bay with outshut to form
2 dwellings, now one. One and a half storeys, 3-bays, 2 and 3-light C19 and C20 casements, three 2-light
dormers rising from below eaves, ground floor 3 windows left and one right of studded plank door. Interior:
