Description
This is a late 18th-century house, which has been altered and extended over time. The original part is constructed of red brick with tuck pointing, featuring a moulded plinth and a moulded wooden eaves cornice with ornamental dentils. The roof is slate-covered, with brick chimneys on either side. The building originally had two storeys and three bays. The ground floor windows are wooden casements with bars, each with three lights, except for the centre window which has two lights. These windows have lozenge panes in the top lights and are set within gauged brick heads. The central ground floor window has been altered, likely originally being above the front door. A two-light wooden casement is found in the left gable of the attic.
A further bay was added to the right side of the original house. This addition is rendered and whitewashed, with a three-light leaded casement window. The entrance to this bay features a fine six-panelled door, a semi-circular radiating fanlight within a depressed arch, panelled reveals, flanking Doric pilasters, and a 20th-century entablature hood with a triglyph frieze.
A gabled cross wing, built around 1911-1912, extends to the far right. This wing is also rendered and whitewashed, with an asbestos slate roof and barred sash windows. The rear of the building has been significantly altered in the 20th century.
