Description
Detached four-bay single-storey thatched house, built c. 1820. Rectangular plan, flat-roofed porch projects from east end of north elevation. Pitched thatched roof, raised ridge, painted concrete verge skews with corbelled kneelers, painted smooth-rendered corbelled chimneystacks with mortar aprons. Painted smooth-rendered walling, large boulder stone protruding from each corner. Square-headed window openings, painted stone sills, painted six-over-six timber sash windows. Square-headed door openings, painted vertically-sheeted timber door. Set at right angles to road, concrete perimeter path, gravelled forecourt to north, painted smooth-rendered boundary wall to road. Single- and two-storey outbuilding to west, corrugated-iron roofs, painted roughcast walling, external stone staircase to upper floor.
Appraisal
This handsome thatched house relates well to its adjacent outbuilding. Traditional thatch and corrugated-iron roofing materials harmonise. Original sash windows survive on the north elevation.
