Cottage. C15 with C17 and C19 additions. Cob, stone plinth, rendered, under half-
hipped thatched roofs; the C19 wing of brick under similar roof. A medieval range
(with remains of a smoke-blackened roof) but too altered to determine original plan-

L-shaped plan. A C19 brick wing fills the inner angle of the L-plan.
Front: (of older range). 2-window range to right of large external stack with
bake-oven projection and brick shaft; all 4 windows of 2-lights, 6 panes per light,
C19, those above under eyebrow eaves. Left-hand end with tiled and boarded porch
below 2-light window.
Roadside front with large external stack and a 1 and 2-light timber casement window.
Porch (pantiled) to right-hand end, and 2 light window. Rear of this range (where
not observed by C19 wing) with one 2-light window under eyebrow eaves.
Interior: main fireplace with chamfered lintel with run-out stops.
Roof: one smoke-blackened closed truss, morticed and side pegged at apex, with part
of diagonal ridge-piece.
