Cottage. Probably late C17/early C18, thatch removed since 1959. Whitewashed rendered cob and stone rubble ; tiled roof, gabled at ends ; projecting right end stack, probably C20 rear left corner stack. Plan: A small early cottage, the main block consisting of a principal heated room to the right and a narrow service room to the left, small outshut on front at right. Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 1 window front with a 2-light casement to the left, a door to the right and the roof carried down over the outshut as a catslide to the right, door and window on inner return of outshut. The left gable end of the main block has a doorway into the service room flanked by small windows, one window in gable. Interior: 1 chamfered crossbeam to heated room. Roof: Not inspected at time of survey but may be of interest. An unusual example of a very small early cottage. Group value with other buildings in the centre of an exceptionally unspoiled village.
