Two cottages 30 metres south-west of Wrinkleberry School.

Room to right of the former passage with an axial stack backing onto the passage. Inner room to right end. In the C18 when the house was divided into 2, the through-passage was blocked at the back and turned into an entrance lobby at the front and a pantry at the rear. The lower room was made into a 1-room cottage incorporating the through-passage, at this time a new staircase was made to the first floor. The upper 2 rooms became another cottage, a hall and staircase being inserted in the inner room, the staircase being renewed in the 19th century. Also in the 19th century an additional room was added at the right end with an inserted stack. The front of the right half of the building was thrown out, probably in the 19th century.
