Description

The ground floor includes one plate glass sash window, while the first and second floors each have three plate glass sashes with single glazing bar divisions. There is a three-sided canted bow added around 1900, which has three plate glass sashes on the north side. The hipped porch has outer glazed doors and inner double doors with margin light glazing bars. The two-storey rear has a late 18th-century doorcase with brackets, a hipped pediment canopy, and a fanlight with switch tracery glazing bars.
