Former blacksmith's house, now in use as a private residence. The structure is built of coursed stone with a pantile roof, and features small pane casement and sliding sash windows. The house was included in a schedule of important buildings within the Hemswell Conservation Area. {1} Historic map evidence would suggest that the house was built in the early 19th century. The house would have been the residence of the blacksmith who worked the adjacent forge building (see MLI126000), and may also have been used as the main shop area at this time. The business is thought to have been in operation until the mid 20th century, at which point this structure was converted to use as a private residence. The building is of two storeys, and features a small external porch on the principal southern elevation. The pitched roof is covered with red clay pantiles, with brick chimney stacks to both gables. {2}{3}
