What is recorded here
Detached four-bay single-storey thatched house, built c. 1790, having shallow windbreak to front (south) elevation and recent three-bay single-storey extension to rear (north) elevation. Hipped thatched roof with red brick chimneystack. Roughcast rendered walls having render plinth course. Square-headed openings with replacement uPVC windows and painted stone sills. Square-headed opening to windbreak having replacement half-glazed timber battened door. Pair of square-profile piers with single-leaf cast-iron gate to front and rendered boundary walls.
This house retains characteristic vernacular features such as the long, low form, steeply pitched roof and windbreak. The squat piers with cast-iron gate enhance the setting and character of the house. Prominently sited, it provides a positive and interesting contribution to the roadscape.
