Two cottages, now one, forming an L-plan. The front range was an open-hall, C16, into which the floor and hearth were inserted in C17. In c.1840 the facade was cased in gault brick. (Historic England)

According to Mac Dowdy, An Improving Town, this is a classic example of a 17th cent. long house. it was later cased in brick, probably in 18th cent.
