Description

The building has two brick stacks, one located at the rear wall and the other on the left-hand wall. It stands two storeys tall and has three windows, which are renewed two-light casements with renewed wood cills. The window-heads are adorned with voussoirs. The front door, located at the center, is made of wood and has four glass panels. The front area walls extend for 30 meters along the lane, constructed from squared rubble-stone and topped with shaped coping stones above a string of thin stones.
