Square-headed door opening with matchboard timber door behind half-door, with limestone flag paving outside door. Several single and two-storey outbuildings to the north-east with pitched slate and corrugated tin roofs, roughcast rendered and whitewashed walls with square-headed door openings with matchboard timber doors and half-doors.

Appraisal
An interesting, early, vernacular house with a combination of slate and thatch roofs. It is marked on the Ordnance Survey first edition six-inch map of 1837. It would appear that it was originally a classic four-bay single-storey thatched house that was later extended by adding the two-bay upper floor. Well maintained, its context is enhanced by the adjoining vernacular house (40900428) adding character to the roadside.
