House with shop. Probably C17 or earlier, remodelled in C18. Slate-hung front, almost certainly timber-framed. Slated roof. Large rendered chimney with tapered cap at rear (visible from car park). 2-rooms wide front range with through-passage to right. Long rear wing to left. 2 storeys with garrets. 4 windows wide.

Each has a 3-light wood casement with 6 panes per light. Moulded cornice across each gable at eaves level.
Interior: inspected during building work in 1984. Ground floor of front range converted to a single shop with side-passage. At left-hand end in rear wall a tall C17 fireplace with monolithic granite right-hand jamb and chamfered cranked wood lintel. Chamfered ceiling-beam with step-stops.
