What is recorded here

Detached four-bay single-storey former outbuilding, c.1830, now in use as two separate dwellings. Random coursed limestone rubble walls, whitewashed to front elevation to south. Replacement uPVC windows and replacement timber front doors to eastern section. Timber planked front door and modern porch extension to western section. Squared bullseye windows in the east gable with concrete lintel and brick surrounds. Pitched pantile roof with chimney stack to the west end.

A simple former outbuilding, sensitively converted to domestic use. An unusual intact survival of a rere outbuilding of this type.
