Description

The structure is a single storey with an attic that slightly projects and has a coved soffit. The ground floor boasts 4-light mullioned and transomed windows with latticed leading to casements on the gable ends, along with one 2-light mullioned window on the north gable and a pair of single-light windows on the west gable. There is also a lean-to porch situated in the angle of the building.
