September 1971. Grade II listed. An early 19th century timber framed house which is part weatherboarded and part rendered. It has low-pitched roofs which are covered with asbestos cement slate. The building is two storeys and is on a 'H-shaped' plan, with an additional narrower range to the north flank; there are two wide gabled ranges flanking the centre. The bay flanks are white weatherboarded, as is some of the ground floor walling. The centre has a single first floor window over an Ionic portico, the entablature of which has been altered. On the rear, the south wing projects further west. Between the two wide wings is an area of flat roof with a rear lean-to over the staircase window. The ground floor of the rear is substantially abutted by later single-storey extensions. <1> See photo <2>.
