Description

It features 3-light casements with horizontal glazing bars, with brick voussoirs to the ground-floor openings. A central door opening now contains 20th-century metal French windows, and the door opening is flanked by brick buttresses. Above the door opening is a pentice with a triple Roman tile roof supported by shaped wooden brackets.
