Former farmhouse, now 2 dwellings. C17 core with considerable later

part of the facade which is pale yellow brick. Glazed black pantiles to front
roof slope, slates to rear. 2 storeys and attics. A single long range with
continuous lean-to at rear. The left hand dwelling has 5 sash windows in
flush frames under segmental yellow brick arches, and a central doorway with
6-panel door (the upper 2 panels glazed), pilasters, frieze and cornice. The
right hand dwelling has 3 windows (tripartite sashes to the ground floor) and
a lobby entrance with matching mid C20 doorway. Plaster coved eaves cornice
(originally across the whole facade). The windows to both dwellings have
glazing bars in the upper sashes only. Parapet gable ends. Internal and

The C17 roof is substantially intact.
