Description

On the south elevation, the ground floor features two 2-light casements and one 2-light horizontal sash window, while the attic includes a dormer with a 2-light horizontal sash window, all of which have glazing bars. There is a 20th-century door and porch aligned with a red brick double ridge stack. Additionally, there are 20th-century one-storey additions to the west and north.
