Three houses, built as one in C16 or C17. Two storeys. Three windows: probably of three-cell plan. Timber-framed and plastered. Thatched roof, three axial chimneys of red brick, all with C19 shafts, but the central one is probably a rebuilding of an earlier chimney. Two mid c19 windows at first storey with small-pane cast iron casements; later C19 casements elsewhere. Two c19 boarded entrance doors with moulded architraves; lean-to porches under construction at date of survey. Evidence for a blocked entrance door at probable cross-entry position.

Interior not examined.
