Description

This is an early 18th-century house, altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is timber-framed with plaster and weatherboard cladding, and features a blue brick facade in a header bond with red brick dressings, some of which are painted. The main range faces northwest and is two storeys high, with an unusually tall upper storey, and an attic. It has a long, two-storey wing to the rear left, with a stack at the junction, and a shorter, two-storey wing to the rear right with an end stack. A single-storey lean-to with a corrugated asbestos roof extends beyond the right rear wing.

On the front, the ground floor has one late 19th-century sash window of four lights and one 20th-century casement window, both set within original openings featuring flat arches of gauged brick. The first floor has two tall sashes of four-over-four lights, also with flat arches, and a blank recess between them. A central six-panel door, with four glazed panels, is set beneath a simple, moulded canopy with dentils, and approached by one stone step with a cast iron bootscraper. A moulded brick band runs along the first-floor level. The eaves have a deeply coved and moulded plaster cornice with short returns. In the right gable is one 19th-century horizontal sash window of six-over-six lights.

The left rear wing has a facade of red brick in a Flemish bond, featuring a ground-floor sash window of ten-over-ten lights within a segmental arch, and two different early 19th-century sashes of twelve lights on the first floor. The rear elevation of the right rear wing is weatherboarded, the remainder being plastered.
