Description
The Storehouse is a house dating from around 1800, constructed of painted brick. It stands three storeys high and features two bays, with a parapet adorned with urns on either side. The roof is hipped and covered with peg tiles, positioned end-on to the quay. The building has pilastered returns and includes a semi-circular bow window on the left side that rises two storeys, featuring small paned sash windows, with an additional small paned sash window above it on the second storey. On the right side at ground level, there is a door with six fielded panels and a rectangular light above it, framed by two Doric columns and a flat entablature. Above the porch, there are two blind window recesses.
