Summary
Significance: At the core of this late seventeenth-century, stone-ender house is a pilastered, stone chimney. The house was expanded several times giving it a somewhat rambling feel today. Of note inside are the flat, s-shaped balusters of the stair. Behind the dwelling is a cider house, dating to the late seventeenth or early eighteenth century.
