Description
This is an 18th-century ashlar building, originally comprising seven windows. It is constructed with sash windows featuring glazing bars, set within architrave surrounds. The ground floor and second-floor windows have cambered heads and keystones, while the first-floor windows have square heads with moulded, triangular open pediments above. A moulded string runs along the building at first-floor level, topped by a moulded cornice and a plain parapet. The central doorway is distinguished by a stone doorcase featuring heavily rusticated blocks with a triple keystone over a pulvinated frieze, and a moulded triangular pediment. A panelled door is set within the doorcase. The left-hand side elevation, which appears to project from a building referred to as "Moxhams," has three windows, one on each floor, each with narrow fixed lights incorporating glazing bars, cambered heads, and keystones. The building forms a group with Nos. 1 to 21 (odd), along with gatepiers and walls at No. 21.
