Small blind recess under eaves left of centre. In centre are 2 C19 doors. That to left possibly replacing former window. All ground floor openings and the back of the fireplace have exposed C17 oak lintels, all chamfered with scroll stops. The latter may imply that the stack inserted and blocked a former window. Roof is hipped to left. Interior: right room has a chamfered and scroll stopped crossbeam and rubble fireplace lintel also has remains of similar finish. Fireplace also has Cl9 brick lined oven to left. Left room has plain carpentry detail. Roof of A-frame trusses with pegged lap-jointed collars. A feature difficult to explain is 2 doors through back wall at first floor level. Coleford is a remarkably unspoilt and picturesque hamlet.
