Description

This is an 18th-century building of two storeys, with an attic and basement, located on the south side of High Street. The building is constructed of Purbeck stone, with a stone roof featuring gable ends and kneelers. There are two gabled dormers added in the 19th century. The windows are sash windows, retaining their original glazing bars, and are set within moulded wooden architraves. A central doorcase provides access to a six-panel door, where the top two panels have been cut away and glazed. A footscraper is also present.
