Description
A house, now a row of houses, dating from the 17th century, with a 19th-century facade. The building is timber-framed and built at a right angle to the road. The ground floor is red brick, with a straight joint to the right of the stack. The first floor is weatherboarded, and the roof is tiled with diagonal bands of darker tiles. The building has two storeys and a garret. A brick plinth in English bond is visible under and to the left of the stack, while a low ragstone plinth is present to the right. The first floor and eaves of the right gable end are jettied on shaped brackets, with an ovolo-moulded bressumer supporting the eaves. The roof is half-hipped to the left and gabled to the right. A multiple red and grey brick stack is located towards the centre of the building. The windows are arranged irregularly, with three two-light casements – two to the left and one to the right of the stack. A short, two-storey rear wing extends to the left, with a half-hipped roof to the rear. A boarded door is located in the left gable end, and another boarded door in the right end. The interior has not been inspected.
