Description
This is an early 19th century brick house. It is two storeys high and originally had a three-window front on the west side. The north front features a large brick splayed bay window which rises through both storeys. The windows are double-hung sash windows with glazing bars, set in plain reveals. The bay windows lack glazing bars, and the ground floor windows on the west front are French casements. A central, projecting Tuscan porch extends from the west front, with plain columns, an ornamental frieze, and a cornice. The area between the porch columns is glazed. The roof is slate, hipped, and has an ornamented soffit detail to the eaves.
