History
Probably later C18, cob-walled thatched cottage, the outer walling largely replaced in rubble stone. Marked on 1843 Tithe Map.

Whitewashed rubble stone with corrugated iron sheeting over thatched roof, and small brick stack, offset to left. Single-storey, two-room plan with byre to right. Deeply recessed ledged door to left, left of stack, then centre 6-pane pivot window. Byre door to right similarly deeply recessed with ledged door. Blocked door to extreme right. Timber lintels. Cob visible to upper part of byre gable end and under eaves of front wall of domestic part. Left gable end has rounded corners and cob under gable eaves. Rear partly of cob, mostly rubble stone, has one window to right, lighting S end room.

Reason for designation
Listed as a cottage of regional vernacular type, which retains its character and its cob walling construction.
