Service outshut added across rear probably in C18 or C19. In the mid to late C20 the stables and hayloft which were attached on the right, were rebuilt to form an extra room and the outshut extension on the left of the house was also rebuilt to form a fourth and fifth room. Exterior: Long low house extended by later additions and with ground sloping down to right. 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 5 window front. Entrance to right of centre with C20 porch with thatched roof and partly glazed doors. Flanked by 2 replacement 2- light casements and C20 glazed doors to left. First floor with 5 replacement 3- light, 2-light and 1-light casements. Interior: Central C17 range retains its chamfered ceiling beams. Lintel to right hand fireplace replaced. Cloam oven. Probably chamfered timber lintel to smaller left hand fireplace. The roof structure comprises 3 A-frame trusses with halved, lap-jointed and pegged apices and chamfered collars also halved, lap-jointed and pegged. The house is reputed to have been an inn, later becoming a Temperance hotel with the rise of Methodism in the parish and finally a Temperance farm. It is now a private house.
