The Department's description
Exterior description and setting
This single-storey/ three-bay dwelling sits along a lane perpendicular to the road and faces south east. It has a gabled slated roof which is cemented in places and three stone chimneys (one to the left gable and one on each party wall), all with pyramidal caps. The walls are harled and whitewashed (probably of stone). There is a gabled and slated porch with barge board and finial to the central kitchen bay. All the windows are modern top hung timber replacements.
Historical information
A building is shown at this location on the 1859 OS 6” map, but not on the 1834 map. It is therefore of mid 19th century date.

Evaluation
This structure probably originated with the central kitchen unit, to which a room was subsequently added on either side. It is due for demolition as replacement building consent has been granted.
