House and adjoining cottage, now 1 house. C17 house, remodelled in the C18, extended

roof and probably 018 dressed granite stack over left hand gable end. Later house
has thatched half-hipped roof with original dressed granite stacks over either side
wall.
Plan: Overall rectangular plan. On the left is the original 2-room-plan house
(originally with hall kitchen on the left and parlour on the right) with C18 or C19
single-storey outshut at rear. On the right is a deeper plan early C20 extension
with reused material from demolished C17 house which was on the same site. Originally
there were 2 rooms at the front (now all 1 room) flanking a central entrance hall
leading to former stair hall between rear service rooms.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Overall 5 window south west front. Original 2 window front on
the left with central doorway. Circa early C20 door, 4-pane horned sashes on the
left and 4-pane casements on the right. Probably C18 openings. There is a C17
chamfered window opening in the left hand end and another one at the rear. Unaltered
C20 house is much taller and has a nearly symmetrical 3-window front with central
chamfered doorway within original open-fronted thatched porch. 2-light mullioned
windows to ground floor; 2 wide arched 3-light windows under thatch eyebrows at first

rebuilt and domed granite bread oven inserted in the C18. Other visible features are
C19 or C20.
