What is recorded here
Detached four-bay single-storey vernacular house, built c.1910, having lower single-bay addition attached to west end. Pitched straw-thatched roof with mesh over, roped and pegged to metal pegs to eaves and painted stone pegs to gables, and having two rendered chimneystacks. Pebbledashed painted walls with smooth plinth course. Square-headed openings with replacement timber casements and concrete sills, and replacement timber door. Ruinous gable-fronted outbuilding opposite.
A vernacular house that retains its original character. The thatched roof, with the evidence of cast-iron pegs and earlier stone pegs, is a good example of the regional thatching method. The scarcity of openings to the rear wall, and the low chimneys, are typical features of vernacular houses.
