Gable end stacks with short brick shafts. Plan and development: 1 storey and attic, 2-room plan house. The larger room at the lower left end would have been the kitchen with its gable end fireplace with smoking chamber and newel staircase either side and probably later ovens projecting at the back. The smaller right-hand room is also heated from a gable end stack but it was probably originally unheated.
