Description

The walls are constructed of brickwork in Flemish bond, featuring cambered openings on the ground floor and a band at the first floor level. The roof is tiled and includes scalloped bands. The building has two storeys and is designed with two windows on the ground floor and one on the first floor. It has wide sash windows set in exposed frames and a panelled door within a solid frame.
