Description
This is a late 17th-century house, likely altered in the 18th century, now divided into two separate houses. The ground level is red brick, with walls of coursed squared limestone and red brick detailing. The roof is of old plain tiles, with a brick end stack on the left and an internal stack on the right. The house is two stories high, originally with a two-window front. A six-panel door is located on the left-hand side, sheltered by a flat hood. To the right of centre is a six-panel door with glazed upper panels, also with a flat hood. A sixteen-pane sash window without horns is present on the right-hand side. A cross-window from the 19th century is positioned to the left of centre. The first floor features two tripartite sash windows with glazing bars. The interior has not been inspected.
