Cottage of two storeys to the north and one storey with and attic to the south, is timber frame above a stone plinth and has been partly refronted in brickwork and rendered. It was built in the early 16th century as a house of three bays with the chimney stack and staircase in the central bay; in the south bay was the hall above a cellar and with attic space above; the north bay, rebuilt in the early 18th century, probably comprised a ground floor room and solar above. Original framing remains in the west wall of the south bay; it has square panels in one of which is a diagonal brace. The hall ceiling is divided by chamfered beams into four rectangular panels; at the north end of the room at the tie beam of the roof truss is exposed and the joints of the wall posts strengthened with short braces. The truss, had a collar and two queen posts, has been partly destroyed; a curved wind brace remains between the two purlins in the south corner of the roof. The hall fireplace as an early 18th century bolection moulded architrave. Demolished before 1970
