Description

It is constructed of coursed squared limestone with wooden lintels and features a thatched roof with brick and rubble gable stacks. The building has a three-unit plan plus a subsidiary bay and stands two storeys high. The irregular front has three small three-light casements on the first floor, while the ground floor includes two- and three-light casements along with a doorway to the right of the middle window; all ground-floor openings are topped with heavy stop-chamfered lintels. The lower subsidiary bay to the right contains an additional doorway and a small window. The interior has not been inspected.
