Summary

A house typical of those built in this part of Dartmoor during the late 19th and early 20th century, characterised by its slate roof, exposed granite walls, brickwork reveals and painted timber sashes. Fortunately, in view of its prominent location at the main entrance to the village, these characteristics are well preserved.
