Description
Brick House, dated 'MEE 1766' on a stone above the door, is a two-storey building constructed of Flemish-bonded red brick. It has three bays and features a ridged gabled roof covered with pegtiles, along with inset red brick chimney stacks at both ends, each topped with coadstone chimney-pots. The entrance door is plain, set in a wide case, and has a flat hood supported by brackets, with a rectangular light above. The door itself, which is made up of four panels, dates from around 1890. On either side of the entrance are modern semi-circular bowed windows, and the first storey has three sets of modern casement windows. The property is complemented by Victorian cast-iron railings along the curved frontage and a red brick garden wall.
