Square-headed door opening with timber boarded door.
A picturesque, small-scale cottage of considerable vernacular importance, as identified by the features including the informal proportions to the openings, together with the thatched roof. Possibly originally forming part of a terrace of thatched buildings, this cottage remains as one of the few surviving thatched buildings in the immediate locality. Well maintained, the cottage retains its original form and early character, and contributes significantly to the visual appeal of the area.
