Description
This is a house, built in the mid to late 18th century and significantly altered in the early 19th century, with a later 19th-century extension. The High Street facade is faced in tuckpointed plum stock brick with areas of earlier and later red brick. It has a hipped tiled roof. The building is in an L shape, with an extension forming a near-square plan. It has two storeys. The High Street elevation originally had a central doorway, now blocked. The ground floor features recessed glazing bar sashes with cambered white brick heads; to the left is a large three-light ovolo moulded casement shop window, also recessed with a cambered red brick head. The first floor has three 12-pane sashes flanking a blind opening, all recessed with cambered white brick heads. The eaves are closed with oversailing courses.
The left return has a central recessed door with two glazed and four raised panels, a panelled reveal, architrave, brackets, and a dentil pediment hood. Flanking this are glazing bar sashes matching those on the front. A second recessed panelled door is located to the far left, also with a bracketed moulded hood. A red brick stack is centrally positioned on the slightly lower ridge of the left return wing. At the rear is a later 19th-century addition with a lower, separate hipped roof. A first-floor rear opening has a gauged brick flat arched head, kneelers, and a partial brick parapet with a truncated external stack.
The right return, facing from the High Street, is red brick and has a ground-floor two-light casement. A 19th-century stack projects from the facade. To the rear left is a long, single-storey 19th-century outbuilding constructed of red brick, flint, and weatherboarding, with a slate and corrugated asbestos roof.
