Painted rendered walls (possibly over mud wall construction). Square-headed window openings with replacement concrete sills, c.1970, and replacement timber casement windows, c.1970. Square-headed door opening with replacement glazed uPVC door, c.1995. Road fronted with concrete footpath to front.
Appraisal
A picturesque, small-scale house of modest form and symmetrical appearance. The density of the wall mass suggests a building of considerable age, and it is possible that the house is of part mud wall construction. Although comprehensively renovated in the late twentieth century, leading to the loss of much of the historic fabric, the house retains most of its original form and massing, and remains an attractive component of the streetscape of Blynd Lane, contrasting with the remainder of the houses on the street, which are primarily of two storeys.
