History

A C17 storeyed lobby-entry house, originally 2-unit with entrance offset to centre and jettied N gable end. A 3rd unit was added to this end c1800. The S gable end was rebuilt in random stone. Substantial alterations were undertaken in the C19; the stack was rebuilt in brick, a new hipped roof was constructed, and a large L-shaped brick wing was added to the rear. This wing is shown on the Tithe map of 1848. The porch is probably of this period. Further alterations occurred c2000 when uPVC windows were inserted.
