House with attached disused shop and smithy. An oval cartouche at upper storey has the plaster date 1745 with initials "C" above and "+M" below; this is the probable construction date, but a cross-wing to left has many reused C15 components. 2 storeys. Timber-framed and roughcast. Plaintiled roof; the cross-wing is pantiled. Axial and end chimneys of red brick. C20 small- pane casements. Boarded C19 entrance door at side. The main range has fully exposed timber-framing of c.1745; the wing also has exposed framing, but has massive reused unchamfered floor joists and principal posts and tie-beams, etc, all of C15 workmanship. A fireplace has a very deep reused C16 cambered lintel. The pantiled shop and smithy attached to left has a timber framed core of c.1745 or perhaps earlier, but was remodelled in C19. The shop has a C19 boarded entrance door and a small-paned shop window; this range was in poor condition at date of survey.
