Description
This is an early 19th-century house, incorporating an earlier 18th-century wing at the rear, and with a late 19th-century shop window. The front is of colourwashed brick, with plain tile roofs and a truncated ridge stack in the centre, and a large axial stack to the rear right wing.
The front of the house has two storeys and two windows. To the left is a shop display window, to the right a private entrance with a four-panelled door, and further right an eight-over-eight sash window. The first floor has two similar sash windows. All doors and windows have gauged skewback arches. There is a modillion eaves cornice.
The right return has one ten-over-ten sash window on each floor, and a 20th-century attic window in the gable. The right rear wing has blocked segmental-headed windows and an early 19th-century crenellated bay window to its east return. A left rear wing contains service areas and former stables.
The interior includes some boxed bridging beams and a winder staircase which was formerly by a removed stack. The shop interior has altered some of the former private rooms on the ground floor. Early 18th-century two-panel doors are notable for the profusion of catches. The roof structure features two tiers of butt-staggered purlins and cambered collars.
