History

The building appears to have been originally single storey or one storey and loft, built in the early-mid C19, probably as the blacksmith's house, and extended up to 2 floors in the later C19. A shadow of the earlier building can be seen in the gable end.

Exterior

Built of local stone rubble, with a slate roof. Two storeys, 2 bays. The front elevation faces SE across the garden. Four-panelled door set slightly off-centre, and 4-paned horned sash windows, two to each floor, with rough stone lintels. Stone stacks with drip courses. One metal framed small paned window to the upper floor at the rear.
