History
Probably early C19.
Exterior
Two-storey 3-window range with rear catslide lean-to and rear wing. Constructed of white-washed random stone under a slate roof with central brick ridge stack. Elevation fronting road has widely-spaced windows with 12-pane sashes; those to ground floor have segmental brick heads, those to upper storey immediately under the eaves, except for upper R window which is a 4-over-8-pane sash under a flat-roofed half-dormer. West gable end has 2 windows on each floor: tall windows with segmental brick heads formerly containing sashes, now with small-pane top-hung windows; the window to lower L is smaller and was probably inserted later; there was formerly a doorway to W gable end, but this is now infilled with rubble stone. Catslide to rear, the W end with similar small window. The entrance is now to the rear, in the catslide section: boarded door with strap hinges, with small-pane side-light to L. Further L is a large rear wing, the W side with a small-pane top-hung window under segmental head, with gabled half-dormer above with 4-pane sash; to upper R, a shallow light with decorative glazing. E side not seen.
