Description
This is an 18th-century house, forming an L-shape. The front, facing west, is roughly plastered with a wooden parapet. It has an irregular four-window front with flush box sash windows, each containing eight-over-eight panes. The roof is hipped and covered in old red tiles.
The central wooden doorcase features a full entablature that projects outwards, supported by acanthus brackets. These brackets are carried on tapered pilasters, each with a moulded base and a lozenge in relief. The six-panel door has ovolo moulding and the top two panels are glazed. A large chimney is centrally located, with a smaller chimney projecting on the south side. A Royal Exchange firemark, number 245523, is positioned above the door.
The house is a picturesque building, contributing to a group of buildings around Fair Green.
