Description

On the ground floor, there is one three-light and one two-light sash stone mullion window, while the first floor has three similar two-light windows, although the left-hand window has had its mullion removed. All windows have flat surrounds. The central entrance door is topped with a plain, deep lintel, and there are gable stacks on the roof.
