Late C18 to early to mid C19; the site is identified on the Plymouth Estate map of 1766 as 'gardens and ruins of a house'. This house had a dairy wing added in the early C20 and has been refurbished and added to again in c1980.

Central porch with tile gabled roof and trellised sides; four-panelled door. The gable wall has a window in a cement frame on each floor. One storey rear extension; this is probably early C20 and extends beyond a single storey extension which dates probably from c1980 and has a 3-light window in a segmental head.
