Thatch roof gabled to front of wing and left-hand end where attached to adjoining property. Brick stack at right-hand end. Plan: 1-room plan with small wing in front of right-hand end. The purpose of this small room is unclear - possibly lack of space forced the builders to extend to the front rather than sideways, alternatively the house may have been larger once.
