Description

The building features stacks on the right side and centrally along the ridge. It has two storeys, with all windows being 20th-century casements. To the left of the gabled porch, there are two windows on each storey. The first floor is tile hung, and there is a gable immediately to the left of the porch. The eaves cornice is made of dentil brick. The 20th-century addition to the right is not of special interest.
