House. 1688 on internal door lintel although extensive alterations and additions of various later dates. Square- panel timber framing, additions roughcast: all with C20 tile roof covering. 3-unit plan (probably through-passage) with projecting crosswing at left and extensive additions to both left and right. The later porch now gives access to the crosswing but may formerly have had a door to a through passage. 1 storey plus attic. Rendered stone plinth, angle braces and decorative framing to the crosswing gable, and 2 dormer gables. Two 3 off 4-light leaded casements to each unit (some probably C18). The rear is roughcast as is the rest of the house but has a canted bay window to the house-part. The interior is much altered but retains ovolo-moulded as well as chamfered beams.
