This has the initials T I S and date 1701 on a panel set into the wall. It was extended and remodelled in the late 18C. Whilst painting stone is sometimes frowned upon, the effect here is quite attractive. The windows are interesting, the left-hand bay has a good-size Venetian window, but then there appears to be a second floor over a low-ceilinged first-floor. The building to the right appears to have been a separate cottage, now presumably incorporated into the main house. On the right is a Georgian house with a doorway of Tuscan columns.
