partial rebuilding. Rendered whitewashed cob on stone rubble footings to the front,
rendered cob to the rear, slate roof gabled at the right end, hipped at the left end.
Rear lateral stack heating hall projects with 1 set-off, large projecting stone stack

with brick shaft.
The original plan was a 3 room and through passage with a 2-storey porch and a front

the passage and the original porch doorway have disappeared, probably during the late
C20 renovation. 2 storeys. 4-window front with an approximately central gabled 2-
storey porch and a front left projection which may have been a stair turret with a
roof hipped to the front. C20 doorway on the right return of the porch. 3- and 4-
light late C20 windows in altered embrasures have diamond-leaded panes, the ground
floor windows have flat brick arches.
Interior The hall fireplace has hollow-chamfered granite jambs and an ovolo-moulded
timber lintel with ogee stops. The remainder of the house has been thoroughly
modernised. Roofspace not inspected.
