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.

Although modest in scale and external detail the house occupies an important corner site at the entrance to the village from the north.
