Description
This building, originally a house and now used as offices, dates from the mid-19th century. It is constructed of flint mixed with random red brick and stone, featuring red brick dressings and a slate roof with a red tiled ridge. The building has double gables to the east and west, adorned with pierced and fluted bargeboards.
The exterior consists of two storeys and a cellar. On the south front, there are two 2-light windows on each storey, which are small-paned ornate cast-iron casements set in brick reveals with segmental-arched heads. The upper windows are topped with small gables that have moulded bargeboards. Above the central door, which is a 4-panelled design with the top two panels glazed and set in a segmental-arched surround, there is a single-light casement.
The east gable features a two-storey canted bay made of red brick, with three large-paned sash windows on each storey. The west gable has a square single-storey bay from the Edwardian period, which includes casement windows and a tented roof covered with fishscale slates. The interior retains many features from the mid-19th century.
