Description
A symmetrical late-Georgian composition comprising a 2-storey gabled central bay with set back flanking single-storey 2-window wings, of ashlar, rusticated quoins to the central bay and rock-faced plinth on the R side where there ground level is lower. The roof is slate on a moulded eaves cornice, behind a coped gable to the central bay and hipped to the outer bays. The central bay has stacks R and L each with 3 octagonal shafts. The central bay also has an octagonal wooden cupola with vented sides, an ogee domed lead roof and weathervane with arrow dated 1840. The doorway in the central bay has a half-lit panelled door with side and overlights within a shallow canted bay. Above it is an inscription panel bearing the date 1840. In the upper storey is a 12-pane hornless sash window. The pedimented gable projects on a corbel table and within the gable is a round iron clock face in a moulded surround. The symmetrical wings have 12-pane horned sashes flanking central gabled porches, of which the L-hand has a lead roof, the R side a stone slab roof. They have fielded-panel doors, the L-hand with an overlight.
The R end wall, facing the quay, has a shallow canted bay with 12-pane horned sash window. The plainer L end wall, continuous with which is a short rear wing, is scribed render and has two 12-pane horned sashes. The central bay has 4-pane horned sash windows to the rear.
The meeting room occupies the R-hand wing overlooking the quay. It has fluted pilasters to a wooden chimneypiece, central ceiling rose and panelled door. The former dwelling was on the L side. This has, at the rear, a straight stair with turned newel and plain balusters, to the upper storey of the central bay and attic rooms over the L-hand bay.
