Scope and Content Late 18th century two-storey former village wash house, restored in 1995-98 by the current owner who uses the building as an art studio. The restoration work was carried out by Fife-based Arc Architects. The building was thatched in reed and given a turf ridge, which is netted. In some places, the turf has grown quite extensively along the ridge. Due to the building’s use and the need for additional natural lighting, the lower half of the roof on the north elevation has been glazed. The thatch, which other than along the ridge is not netted, is in a good condition, however, there is a small amount of mossy vegetation growth across the surface of the thatch throughout. There is a single storey brick extension to the north, which has a pantile roof.
