Pair of cottages, formerly a farmhouse. 17th or early 18th century. Granite rubble with concrete-tiled roof.

Other windows have small-paned wood casements, except for third window from right which has a 20th century metal-framed window. Plank door with applied ribs.
Interior has chamfered upper-floor beam in left-hand room. Some early 18th century panelled doors upstairs. Roof rebuilt 20th century, leaving plain feet of principal rafters in second-storey rooms.

Ordnance Survey, 2017, MasterMap (Cartographic). SDV359962.

Modern mapping shows the farmhouse largely unchanged from the Tithe Map depiction, although the south-western end is shown as being part of No. 2 directly to the north (which may not be the case).
