Plan and development: Three-room plan, facing north-east. Integral end stacks and central unheated hall with front entrance at the right-hand end. Blocked front doorway into left-hand room. Inserted C20 staircase at rear of left-hand room. Partition between central and left-hand ground-floor room removed, probably in the late C20. C19 outshut at left-hand end, altered in the late C20. Late C20 outshut at right-hand end. Two storeys with one-storey outshuts. Exterior: Asymmetrically -fenestrated front; mostly late C19 two-and three-light wooden casements, 3 to first floor and 4 to ground floor. Second ground-floor window from left is a late C20 fixed window, formerly a doorway. Doorway between first and second windows from right with late C20 two-leaf door, wooden lintel and late C20 thatched rendered porch. Tnterior: Right- and left-hand ground floor rooms have joists spanning front to back. Probably C20 joists in central room. C17 fireplaces in end rooms have stone jambs and chamfered wooden lintels. The left-hand fireplace has a bread oven with a C19 cast-iron door. Front doorway reduced in width at same time (see former wider jambs).
