Location
An isolated house at the S end of the village, and reached by private track on the W side of the B5121.
History
Built as workmen's cottages in the third quarter of the C19 and first shown on the 1871 Ordnance Survey. Subsequently the row was converted to a single dwelling on the R-hand side, with workshops or sheds on the L-hand side.
Exterior
A single-storey house set across the sloping hillside, comprising a single long range with pebble-dashed walls, slate roof, and 4 ridge stacks of which render has part fallen away revealing brick beneath. Openings are all set beneath the eaves. The house is 4-window with a boarded door L of centre between 2 horizontal sliding sash windows. The 2 windows on the R side are large-pane vertical sliding sashes. Further L are 4 boarded doors of which 2 are probably converted from windows. The R gable end has a sash window on the R side under a segmental head. A short gabled rear wing on the R side of the house has a brick end stack.
Interior
Not inspected.
