Steeply pitched plain tile roof with brick coped gable ends. Porch axial and small gable end internal stack. PLAN: 2-room plan, both rooms heated from back-to-back fireplaces in central axial stack. The original building was probably not a house, but a 2-storey building possibly without structural divisions. In circa C18 it appears to have been converted into a pair of cottages, the central stack inserted and small service rooms partitioned off in the rear right and left hand corners; only the left service room remains. In C20 it was converted into one house and an outshed built at the right hand (east) end. EXTERIOR: 2 storey. Asymmetrical 3-window south front. 2 and 4-light C20 casements with leaded panes.

C20 single storey lean-to outshut on right (east) end. INTERIOR: Right hand room has large chamfered cross-beams with cyma stops at south end, exposed unchamfered joists and large fireplace with chamfered timber lintel without stop. Left hand room also has chamfered cross-beam with cyma stops at north end, exposed unchamfered joists and large fireplace with chamfered timber lintel with cyma stops at one end.
