Description
This is a house dating to circa 1760. The main block is two storeys and three bays, while a one-bay extension sits to the left. The main block is constructed of Flemish bond brick with painted ashlar dressings and a Welsh slate roof. The left extension uses English garden wall bond brick with a renewed pantiled roof. The front door, centrally located in the main block, is a four-panelled door within a fluted architrave and bracketed hood. The ground floor windows have renewed wedge stone lintels and flat stone sills, while those on the first floor have projecting stone sills and smaller wedge stone lintels, all renewed. Brick chimneys are positioned at both ends of the main block. The left extension features a blocked elliptical brick arch with stone impost blocks; the window above has a header course lintel and projecting stone sill to a renewed sash window. A boot scraper recess is located beside the front door. An attached wall to the left incorporates a 20th-century iron gate and terminates in a low, buttressed outhouse with boarded pigeon holes in the rear gable.
