house

Detached four-bay single-storey vernacular house, built c.1800, with flat-roof entrance porch. Easternmost bay is addition. Hipped straw thatched roof, hipped to west end and with pitched slate roof to east bay, with brick chimneystacks. Rendered walls. Square-headed openings with one-over-one and two-over-two pane timber sliding sash and fixed windows to older part and replacement uPVC to rear and to later bay. Timber battened front door, and replacement timber to rear. Rendered walls and piers to garden at rear and concrete yard to front.

This is an interesting example of vernacular architecture, with straw thatch and small slates, both readily available and cheap in the past. The small openings would have been more structurally stable than large openings, and would have avoided both the use of expensive glass and the payment of window taxes.
