A small C17 2-unit house, part of which was raised in the final quarter of the C19. The 1899 Ordnance Survey shows the building as 2 dwellings, but it is now a single dwelling.

A lean-to to the R gable end has a small-pane window in an earlier opening. The L-hand unit has a 2-light small-pane casement in the lower storey under a plain drip stone and a single casement upper centre below the eaves. Against the L gable end is a massive raked buttress. The rear, which has a continuous eaves line, has an inserted doorway lower R with boarded door, L of which is an added lean-to and small-pane window further L. In the upper storey is a fixed light on the R side, and a 2-light casement upper L.
