Description
The house, likely dating from the mid-18th century, has been altered in the 19th century. It is constructed of red-brown brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with a pantile roof. The building is two storeys high and originally featured three bays, arranged two rooms deep. A plinth runs along the base. The central entrance is a four-panel door topped with an overlight. Windows are 20th-century replacements, all set within flat, gauged-brick arches. A three-course band runs along the first floor, and an eaves band is also present. Chimneys are located at either end of the building; two to the left, with the front chimney having been rebuilt.
Inside, the house is reported to have stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, along with a mid-18th century staircase and principal rafter roof trusses.
