Description
This is a mid-18th century building with an earlier timber frame. The front facade is of black weatherboards and red brick, featuring a rolled and dentilled eaves band.

A modern central door is flanked by matching casements, each set beneath a straight stucco arch. A 19th-century rear wing is constructed of painted brickwork and features one large gault brick stack. A red brick garden wall runs along the property, incorporating a round arched and voluted niche on its southern side.
