The plan form consisting of 2 parallel ranges suggests a late C17 date.

Masonry lean-to on W side with asbestos covered roof. The house comprises 2 parallel ranges: In the N elevation, the wider E gabled range is slightly advanced -blocked doorway in W gable opposite the chimney. Cast-iron small-paned casement windows with quadrant stays to 1st floor in each gable; the lower windows renewed in earlier openings.

There is one cast iron casement window rising to the eaves, with a planked door below. The rear (S) is masonry in the lower half and rendered above. There is a rear door inside a modern porch, which is opposite the blocked front door.

Reasons for Listing

Listed as a good example of a lobby entry, timber framed farmhouse. The plan form, with 2 parallel ranges, is an interesting and unususal local type, dating to the late C17. The surviving iron casement windows make a strong contribution to the character of the house.
