An axial stack between the other rooms serves back-to-back fireplaces. Front lobby entrance was blocked when the house was divided into cottages and new doorways provided.
2 storeys with attics in the roofspace and probably secondary lean-to outshots to rear.

Left of centre is a doorway containing a C20 plank door and there is another similar to the other cottage round the corner in the right end wall. Roof is half-hipped both ends and contains 2 front dormer windows under hipped roofs. The chimneyshaft contains some old, probably C17, brickwork.
