Description
Ship House is a house dating from the early 18th century. It is constructed of painted brick with a plain tiled roof. The building stands two storeys high on a plinth and features a discontinuous plat band and a cornice band at the roof, which has kneelered gables. There are two hipped dormers and chimney stacks at both the left and right ends of the house. The windows are arranged regularly, with three glazing bar sashes on the first floor and two segmental-headed windows on the ground floor. The central entrance door consists of six raised and fielded panels and is topped with a rectangular fanlight. This door is accessed by four steps that have simple iron railings.
