Description
This is a seventeenth-century house with an addition from the nineteenth century. The original part of the house is colour-washed rough cast over a timber frame and has an old clay tile roof. It is arranged in an L-shape, with a two-storey rear wing and a single-storey front wing with attics. The west elevation has sash windows with glazing bars on both floors; the ground floor left-hand window is a three-light design. The front block has a half-hipped roof and a red brick stack to the rear wing. The north elevation displays two box dormers with moulded cornices, and two-light casement windows. A later front addition is constructed of colour-washed brick with an old clay tile roof. This double-gabled, two-storey block has a dummy window on the right-hand side of the ground floor, and three other sash windows set in reveals with rendered flat arches.
