Site visit on 2nd February 1995. Although list entry suggests this is a truncated house, internal inspection does not provide evidence of this. The upper end has been partly rebuilt. See notes for full details.

Cottage. C17 or earlier, some C19 reconstruction. Whitewashed and rendered; thatched roof, hipped at left end, gabled at right end; projecting stone stack at right end with tall brick shaft, rear left lateral stack. Rear wall rebuilt in brick. Plan: Plan form unclear as no access to interior at time of survey (1986) but it seems likely that the building was originally larger and has been truncated at the right end. Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 1 window front, blind at the left. Front door with porch hood to right of centre; 2-light casement with glazign bars to right of doors, 2-light first floor casement above. Interior: not inspected but early features may survive. The roof structure may be of interest and the suggested dating might need revising on an interior inspection.
