Roughcast rendered walls with render plinth course. Square-headed openings having concrete sills and one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed opening with timber panelled door.

Appraisal
This thatched house is a notable example of vernacular domestic architecture. Its traditional form is typified by its long, low form, steeply pitched roof and irregular window fenestration. The house forms a pleasing contribution to the roadscape.
