What is recorded here
Detached four-bay single-storey vernacular house, built c.1800, having single-bay addition to east gable. Pitched thatched reed roof with earlier thatch beneath. Pitched thatched, formerly flat or lean-to, roof to addition, with rendered copings to gables and rendered chimneystacks. Painted rendered walls to front and rear having exposed rubble stone to gables. Square-headed window openings having painted rendered sills to front elevation and stone lintels elsewhere, with replacement timber windows. Square-headed door openings having raised rendered door surrounds, with replacement timber glazed doors. Rubble stone outbuildings to south-west, and rubble stone boundary walls and piers with wrought-iron gate.
This house nestles in undulating countryside and is an eye-catching feature because of its thatched roof, the original layers of thatch being visible under the present reed. Original relatively small window and door openings, and opposite doorways have been retained, maintaining the character of the house.
