Description
This is a house, likely dating from the mid-17th century, with later alterations. The external walls are roughcast, probably over a timber frame, and have an old plain-tile roof. A brick end stack is located to the right, featuring three diagonally-set flues, and further brick stacks are present at the rear. The house is two stories high with a four-window front. The main entrance is a four-panel door positioned to the left of centre, and is flanked by sash windows. To the left is an eight-light window. A sixteen-pane sash window, lacking horns, is positioned to the right, featuring a painted wooden architrave surround. An angled, flat-roofed bay window is situated to the right of centre, incorporating unhorned sash windows with glazing bars. The first floor has three-light wooden casements, except for a tripartite unhorned sash window to the right of centre. A cross-gable is aligned to the right of centre. The interior has not been inspected.
