Description

The building is a former brewery, now partly a house, likely dating from the 19th century. It is constructed of stone rubble with slate roofs. The western part of the building is a two-storey house with casement windows. A rear wing has varied window placement on its northern side. A south-facing courtyard reveals brewery buildings to the east. Glazed tiles are visible on the exterior. A prominent central bay is topped with a pyramidal roof, featuring a gable projection to the south and round-headed windows. To the north is a lower bay with a shallower pyramidal roof. Lower gabled outbuildings are situated to the east and south.
