What is recorded here

Detached four-bay single-storey vernacular house, built c.1800, having lower single-bay extension to east end. Pitched thatched roofs, and low painted rendered chimneystack. Painted smooth rendered walls having painted quoins and plinth course. Square-headed window openings with painted stone sills and timber sliding sash windows, two being six-over-six pane and other being two-over-two pane. Square-headed timber battened door. Wrought-iron pedestrian gate to front garden, set between rubble limestone piers in rubble limestone boundary wall.
The squat front wall but very high thatched roof makes this a particularly distinctive vernacular house. The outbuilding to one end is also thatched and the survival of small window openings are notable features. Its very low chimneystack is also typical of the type. The whole is enhanced by the setting, with the garden to the front, and mature trees.
