Double-fronted cottage. Originally constructed before 1868 (present on Ordnance Survey 1:2500 1st edition map of that date).


Although the building has the appearance of being a single-storey dwelling, a single spectacle window in each gable provides natural light to two rooms in the roofspace.


The property was acquired by the Manx Museum and National Trust in 1958 because of the survival of its thatched roof, and its Manx name translates as 'the little thatched house'.
