stone dressings and tile roof. Two storeys. Facade has two central gables
with crow-stepped stone copings. Below each are two sashed windows on the

single sashed first floor window. On the ground floor the left-hand bay
contains two sashed windows with glazing bars and segmental heads. Below the
left-hand central gable is a single-storey timber canted bay window which
contains sashes with glazing bars. Below the right-hand central gable is a
sashed window with glazing bars, with a blocked window to its right. The

casements with glazing bars. The doorway, between the two central gables,
has a round head with fanlight and a timber doorcase with an open pediment
