2 storeys, lower end to right rebuilt. The through-passage now gone. Inner room to

beyond it. Outbuilding added at higher end.
Exterior: 2 storeys, asymmetrical front of 3:3:1 windows, 2- and 3-light late C19

former inner room with a late C19 half-glazed door, door opening to right into lower
room with plank door.

stops, hall with simple framed ceiling; plank and muntin screen between hall and
