Description

The building is two storeys plus an attic and has a four-window range. It consists of a central block flanked by advanced side wings. On the ground floor, there are three-light casement windows with lead cames, and a glazed door to the left in the central block has a wooden doorframe. The right wing contains a plank door with a wooden lintel. The first floor features three-light windows with astragals and wooden lintels, along with one two-light window with lead cames to the left in the main block. A gabled roof dormer is present as well. At the rear, the ground floor includes a plank door with a moulded wooden frame and a chamfered wooden lintel, a three-light wooden mullioned window with iron bars, and a round bread oven projection to the left topped with a stone slate roof. Inside, there are stop-chamfered beams and chamfered joists.
