Farmhouse, formerly 2 cottages. Late C17. Plastered cob on rubble footings; stone

end. 2 storeys. Originally symmetrical 2-window front with doorways each end.
Now C19 plank door behind C20 monopitch and corrugated asbestos roofed porch at
left end but right end door now blocked by C20 casement with glazing bars. The
other windows are oak-framed casements with glazing bars and may be original. The
ground floor windows have internal iron glazing hars of circular section. Gable-
ended roof with deep eaves on a series of timber brackets. Rear wall is blind. On
right end is a small agricultural store with cob rear wall, framed front and leanto

suggests that original replaced in C19.
