Description

There are brick stacks at the gable ends, with the left stack truncated. The building has a double-depth plan and stands three storeys tall, with a three-window range. On the second floor, there are two 2-light casements with small panes, likely from the 18th century, situated under the eaves. The first floor has three 20th-century three-light casements with glazing bars, along with a similar one on the ground floor to the left. To the right, there are two bow windows from around 1960, and a 20th-century door is located to the left of centre. The interior has not been inspected.
