Description
Wholly stucco faced and painted, probably over local rubblestone, with painted dressings and a plain tile roof. Modillion eaves cornice, otherwise smooth stucco. Three storeys, five windows, central entrance double depth plan. The main street elevation has the windows disposed in pairs on either side of the central bay with a wider piece of walling on either side of the central doorway. Doorcase with broken pediment on brackets and radiating fanlight. Six panel door with panelled reveals. The windows are all 6 over 6 pane late C18 type sashes on the ground and first floors except for the central window on the first floor which has a semi-circular head and a stucco surround with key and impost blocks; 6 + 6 pane casement with an ogee tracery fanlight. The top floor has 3 over 6 sashes. Plain roof slope with slight bell cast, tall rendered stack on either gable. Attached spear head wrought iron railings and gate. Return wall on right is covered on the ground floor by a lean-to and has a small second floor window at rear. Return wall on left has sash window on ground floor. Garden elevation has central full height gabled stair wing which is extended on the ground floor by c1990s conservatory and has a tall arched stair window above with 6 over 12 pane sash. To the left is a modern lean-to covering the ground floor with 6 over 6 pane sash above. To the right a french door with a 6 over 6 pane sash window with half panes at either side above, small eaves window.
Basic four room plan round wide central hall with open well stair rising to attic in wing at rear. There is one bolection moulded door surround which may be early C18, and an C18 panelled room, but most of the joinery is part of the early C19 alterations. The stair is slightly unconvincing with an unusually wide well, closed string, turned balusters and moulded handrail. The attic landing has an undatable alteration, but the balusters are a different pattern and support a 3-bay arcade of unusual appearance.
