Square-headed window openings with painted stone sills and deep reveals, having two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows to front elevation, and replacement uPVC elsewhere. Square-headed door opening to front having replacement battened timber half-door. Three-bay single-storey former forge to west and contemporary with house, now in use as house and having pitched thatched roof with rendered chimneystack and gables, rendered walls with recent porches to north-west and south-west elevations and horseshoe-arched opening to north-east having replacement battened timber doors. Small pitched thatched-roof shed to south-east.
Appraisal
This house, along with its small collection of outbuildings, makes a fine contribution to the surrounding rural landscape. The retention of thatched roofs and timber sliding sash windows contribute to the significance of the buildings.
