Description
This is a house, likely refronted in 1796, although it incorporates an earlier structure. A circular plaque indicates the date of the refronting. The exterior is rough cast over a timber frame. The roof is covered in clay tiles. The house is arranged in a T-plan with two storeys. The front elevation features two-light casement windows with glazing bars on each floor. A central front door consists of six moulded panels, the upper pair being glazed, set within a moulded surround and topped with a small gabled hood supported by cut brackets. A central red brick ridge stack rises from the centre of the roof.
