Doorway contains 19th century six-panel door with fielded upper panels and plain overlight above. Plain eaves and hipped roof. Interior: Although modernised there remains a good deal of original joinery detail, interesting for its simple style. This includes timber chimneypieces, a round-headed cupboard and 2-panel doors.
