Plan: 3 room and through passage plan originally (rear doorway blocked in the C20). Very thick walls except at the right-hand end; fireplace walls probably rebuilt or partly rebuilt circa late C17 or early C18. Walls possibly heightened over the 2-storey part at the same time. The plan is now 3 fairly small rooms. The lower end (land slopes down to left) room has large fireplace with 2 ovens; the other rooms share a cross chimney wall. The through passage was between the lower-end room and the middle room. Exterior: 2 storeys and single storey.
