Description
This is a house, originally a single property and later divided into two dwellings, dating to circa 1760, with alterations and additions made in the early 19th century. The building is constructed of rendered and colourwashed brick with black-glazed pantile roofs.
The west front has a late 20th-century double-leaf panelled door centrally located, set within a 19th-century doorcase featuring engaged fluted Ionic columns supporting a flat hood. Flanking the door are two small casements with margin lights and glazing bars, followed by two larger, identical casements. Above, a projecting canted bay is centrally positioned, with casements, margin lights, and glazing bars. To the left of the bay are two more casements with margin lights, and a single small sash without glazing bars to the extreme right. The eaves overhang, terminating in a hipped roof.
A further wing extends to the south, under a hipped roof, with canted bay windows and a doorway. A modillion eaves cornice is present on the west side. A stack rises from the south roof slope. The north return has a 20th-century outshut, from which two partly external wall stacks emerge. Two sashes are positioned between the stacks at first-floor level.
The east front has two later 19th-century single-storey canted bays with casements, margin lights, and hipped slate roofs on the north part. Three irregularly positioned ogee casements are on the first floor. An arched staircase sash is recessed to the left, with margin lights. 20th-century extensions are found on the east face of the south part.
Inside the south part of the house, the ground-floor bays have panelled reveals, and doorways contain six-panelled doors. A stick baluster staircase has a ramped and wreathed handrail. The north-west room features a plaster cornice and an imported marble chimneypiece. Four-panel doors lead to the first-floor rooms.
The interior of the north part of the house has sashes with splayed reveals. The ground-floor east room has a plaster ceiling with a central rose encircled by an oval leaf trail that breaks into bifurcating scrolls at intervals, surrounded by a continuous run of swags, and a moulded cornice.
