NT 29714 65922 Circa 1781 L-plan thatched extension to earlier 18th century cottage. The wing, located at the east of the building, is currently thatched in reed and was last re-thatched approximately 12 years ago (around 2002). The thatch is netted in some places, and the thatched ridge, which is scobed with hazel spars and fixed with metal rods and wire horizontally, is entirely netted. The ridge has deteriorated slightly since it was last thatched, sagging away from the netting in places. To the south, the wing has a rounded hip with a central recessed dormer window just above the eaves, which has scobed detailing directly below the window and underneath the sculpted thatched hood at the dormer cheeks.
