contains a C19 part-glazed 4-panel door. A flat-roofed C20 conservatory has been
erected in front of the door and window to the left. The roof is hipped to right
and half-hipped to left.
Interior: the C17 fabric remains essentially intact. The 2 rooms are divided by a
cob crosswall. The larger heated room has the original soffit-chamfered and late

fireplace is known to survive behind. The roof is inaccessible but the feet of the
principals show and suggest that the roof structure is original.
