Both rooms heated by gable end stack - right-hand one larger hall/kitchen has projecting window bay at the front. Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 1-window front, 2 to ground floor, of early C20 small-paned 2-light casements. Projecting gabled bay to right of centre has a window on each floor. C20 part-glazed and panelled door to left of centre. At front of right-hand end is semi-circular oven projection with thatched roof. Late C19 or early C20 outshut against right-hand end. Interior: left-hand room has very heavy chamfered axial beam with run-out stops. Fireplace has chamfered wooden lintel although the opening is now blocked.
