Description

It has large ashlar stone quoins arranged in long-and-short work and brick dressings around the windows, which have segmental brick heads. The roof is covered with clay tiles and has gable ends with stone gable copings, along with 20th-century brick stacks at both gable ends. The building is two storeys tall with attics and includes two windows that are 3-light wooden casements with glazing bars and wooden cills. There is a blocked window opening on the left-hand gable. The door is located in the rear wing extension, which has a pentice roof and features a plank door with a wooden frame from the 19th century. The rear service range has rubble stone walls and Roman tile roofs, with a brick stack on the rear ridge.
