Detached three-bay single-storey house with dormer attic, built c.1890, now vacant. Lean-to outbuilding to side (east). Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks. Painted rendered walls.

Appraisal

An excellent example of the traditional housing type built by islanders in the past. It is a fine addition to the island's architectural heritage, particularly as historic building such as this are increasingly threatened by demolition and new build replacement.
