House, C17. Rendered rubble with steep corrugated iron roof. One storey with attic. To each side of the door there is a modern window with glazing bars. At the left there is a fire window with plain reveals, of three lights with timber mullions. The attic is lit by two dormers. The door has plain reveals. Gable chimneys, the left-hand one replacing a firehood and set inside the gable wall. The left-hand gable wall has, on both floors, a window with rebated and chamfered surround, hood, and central mullion removed. Inside, there is one cruck truss visible on the ground floor. Between the cruck blades there is a timber-framed wall which divided the housepart from the two rooms at the north-west end of the house. The adjacent chamfered doorways to these rooms remain, although one of the flat doorheads has been removed. In the housepart a heck post runs from floor to ceiling; a firehood bressumer has been sawn off below ceiling level. A second vertical timber is embedded in the front wall, also mortised for a bressumer. Built into the left-hand side wall of the present fireplace there is a fragment of dressed sandstone with a rope moulded edge, possibly part of a medieval grave cover.
