Description

The first floor features a mullioned tripartite window, while the second floor has a bipartite window topped with a gablet. The exterior is rendered, and the windows have raised chamfered margins. The roof is slated and has a piended design sloping to the west and south. The front facing Abbey Row is also three stories tall, with two bays, harled walls, and ashlar detailing at the angles and window margins. There is a door located on the right side of the ground floor.
