What is recorded here

Detached three-bay single-storey vernacular house, built c. 1800, having recent flat-roof porch to front and slightly lower single-bay addition to west end. Pitched thatched roof with recent brick chimneystack. Pitched corrugated-iron roof to addition. Painted roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows to rear with painted stone sills. Entrance obscured by recent addition. Square-profile painted rendered piers to east.
This house, with its irregular fenestration reflecting the interior plan of the structure, is typical of vernacular architecture. Although extended to the front, the rear remains substantially unaltered. The small, simple timber sash windows, rounded corners and simple finishes are all traditional features in thatched dwellings.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
