Description
This is a building originally constructed as a hall, now used as offices, dating from the 17th century. The building has been significantly altered over time. It is constructed of hammer-dressed stone with quoins. The roof was re-covered with stone slates and tiles. The front elevation features three gables, with wings extending to the rear. The central gable has a ten-light mullioned and transomed ovolo-moulded window on the first floor, and a three-light double-chamfered window on the ground floor. The right wing incorporates a four-light double-chamfered window on the first floor. The remainder of the building has undergone substantial alterations.
