Full Description

1½ storey 3 bay cottage with a gabled porch and lower 2 bay extension to the left. The cottage is in rubble with painted stone margins to the windows. The pitched slate roof features dormerheads and gable end stacks. <1>

Having located this building on Google Streetview it is apparent that it has been modernised with a two storey extension replacing the previous lower extension to the left. The stonework is now totally obscured by grey pebbledash. <2>
