Read the whole record

Detached three-bay single-storey with attic house, built c. 1780, with curved windbreak to door and recent single-storey flat-roofed extension to east gable. Pitched slate roof with brick chimneystack. Corbelled rendered canopy with cast-iron cresting over windbreak. Painted wet-dashed walls, smooth rendered plinth. Square-headed window openings with timber sliding sash one-over-one pane windows. Square-headed door opening with timber panelled door. Single-storey outbuildings to either side of front yard have pitched corrugated-iron roofs and painted wet-dashed walls. Rendered walls and piers to site boundary.

The small irregularly-spaced windows, sheltered siting, and outbuildings forming a yard to the front are evidence of the vernacular origins of this house. Typically, its originally windowless rear façade faces north, for heat retention purposes. The bowed windbreak is a notable example of the personalisation and differentiation possible with vernacular houses.
