What is recorded here

Detached five-bay single-storey vernacular house, built c.1800, having flat-roofed single-storey addition to rear. Hipped thatched roof with rendered chimneystack. Whitewashed walls with curved corners and distinct batter. Square-headed window openings with small, possibly original-size openings, with painted sills and two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed timber battened door. Garden to front bounded by rubble limestone wall and hedging. Single-storey outbuilding to rear at right angles, having lean-to roof and whitewashed walls.
This vernacular house is a rare survival, having most of its original detailing. Its battered walls with rounded corners betray a relatively early date. The retention of a hipped thatched roof and of small, possibly original, windows, enhances the heritage importance of the house.
