Small house.  Probably C18 or earlier origins.  Flemish bond brick with blue headers to the ground floor, first floor tile-hung; peg-tile roof; brick stacks.
Plan:  Sited on a spur of high ground at the top of Windmill Hill, facing on to the hill.  Probably 2 rooms wide with a front door to left of centre.  The main range is single depth with a rear right outshut which projects beyond the right end of the house.
Exterior:  2 storeys.  Asymmetrical 3-window front.  Gable-ended roof, left end stack and axial stack.  C18 fielded panel front door to left of centre.  3 ground floor late C19 plate glass sashes, 2-panes with margin glazing.  3 first floor 2-light casements, each just breaking the eaves line with one light above.  The right (north) end of the house has a 2-tier bay glazed with late C19 or C20 windows with glazing bars with a French window in the centre of the bay on the ground floor.
Interior:  Not inspected.
Although modest in scale and external detail the house occupies an important corner site at the entrance to the village from the north.
