Stacks at each gable end, that to right with offsets, and front lateral, former hall stack to Longhope Cottage with tall rendered shaft. Formerly 3-room through-passage open hall house, the through-passage now taken into hall and rear doorway blocked. Partition inserted at lower end of hall to form 2 cottages with doorway inserted to centre of inner room as entrance to right hand cottage. 2 storeys. 3-window range C19/C20 2-light casements, 3 panes per light to right, C20 casements to right. Two 2-light casements 6 panes per light to right, C20 casement to right. Two 2-light casements 6 panes per light flanking C20 flat-roofed porch to left and C20 2-light casement to right of 4-panelled door to Hillside, the upper 2 panels glazed. Two storeys rear outshut to Hillside, the 2- light casements with old bottle glass. Interior: Single wide chamfered hollow stepped stop ceiling beam to room to left of former through-passage. Timber lintel to hall fireplace partially plastered over. C19 joinery and dado matchboarding to Hillside ground floor room with corner cupboard. Access to roof to Longhope Cottage only, with solid cob partition rising to apex of roof between hall and room to left, with two C18/early C19 trusses over hall with X apex and side-pegged collars, but reusing some of the original smoke- blackened purlins. The cob partition and change in first floor levels suggests that the upper end may always have been ceiled, the hall itself originally open to the roof and later floored over.
