Although it was originally one big house and barn, probably shared between one or two families, it is now divided into three cottages, Cloisters, Sheppey Cottage, and Pixie cottage. It was extended rearwards in the 1960s. On the near side cottage to the high street, Cloisters, there is a garage.
Next door to Cloisters is a large
paddock , of which a little is cut away, what remains of the foundations of a house that was to be built there.The Cotswolds Way
The
Cotswold Way runs right by the front of the house, and thus the house is featured on manyramblers web sites.
