Description
This is an 18th-century building on King Street, which has been considerably restored. It is constructed of brick with a tiled roof and a brick stack. The main building is two storeys high with a single-story extension to the west. The ground floor features a six-panel door with a classical hood supported by moulded pilasters—likely a modern replacement—and a modern bow window. Three double-hung sash windows with glazing bars are on the first floor. The single-story garage extension has Californian screen block in two openings and a single casement window, which is not considered listable.
