Description

This is an 18th-century house, extended in the early 19th century. The ground floor is built of red brick, while the first floor is timber framed and weather boarded, with a later extension finished in ornamental tiles. The roof is tiled, with a gambrel shape and stacks on both the left and right sides, along with two flat-roofed dormers. The windows are regularly placed; the first floor has 2-over-2 sashes, and the ground floor has 2 tripartite sashes. A central panelled door is situated in a later gabled porch. The rear of the house features an irregular arrangement of glazing bar sashes.
