Description

This is an early 19th-century building, originally two separate houses that have since been combined into a single dwelling. It is a single-storey structure with painted rendered walls and flush margins. The front has three bays for each original house, with a central doorway in each section; one of these doorways has been blocked. An additional window has been added to the south side. There are four chimney stacks with set-offs, and the roof is covered in slate tiles, with straight skews. A substantial rear wing extends from the main building, featuring ventilation louvres in the slate roof.
