Description

The house is timber framed, with colourwashed render on the gable and red brick on the front elevation. It has a clay tile roof and a two-room plan with attic space. The ground floor features two two-light casement windows with segmental heads, and the attic has two gabled dormers with two-light casements. There is a six-panel door in a moulded surround with a flat, bracketed hood. A red brick multiple ridge stack serves hearths. A 20th-century one-storey and attic extension is located on the left-hand gable end.
