Small house. Mid to late C17, outshut to south-east early C19.

2-room plan with contemporary partial outshut to north-east side
and later partial outshut to south-west. Rough quoins. Original
main elevation to south-west has a 2-light double-chamfered mullion
window to each floor, the mullion absent on ground floor. To right
the later outshut with 2-light slightly splayed and recessed mullion
window in left return and doorway with dressed surround in right
return. The outshut encloses the original front door which is oak
boarded, ledged and harr-hung. Damaged shouldered and corniced ashlar
