Description

The entrance is centrally located and accessed through a pillared, gabled porch with chamfered arrises. There are windows on either side of the entrance, with a single window in each wing. The windows are sash and case style, featuring an 8-pane glazing pattern.
The roof is covered with grey slates, has straight skews, and an ashlar coped stack, with one stack renewed in brick.
