History

Erected in the final quarter of the C19 as part of the Talacre Estate and first shown on the 1899 Ordnance Survey. The large front window suggests it was built as a shop.

Exterior

In the lower storey is a large small-pane window on the L side with boarded door to its R, and a small horizontal-sliding sash beneath the eaves upper L. In the R gable end, which is of random rubble stone, is a 2-light casement replaced in an original opening, below a horizontal-sliding sash in the upper storey, both under wedge lintels. A fixed light is in an original opening further R in an integral rear outshut.

Interior

Not inspected.
