Description

It was heightened in the 19th century with eight courses of red brick and features a slate roof. The building has two storeys, with two first-floor casement windows that have glazing bars and are set under cambered brick heads. On the ground floor, there are three casement windows and a central doorway, which is topped by a 19th-century openwork door hood.
