House. Mid C18, with early C19 changes, and minor C20 changes. Brick walls,
the front of blue headers with red brick plinth and cambered arches, other walls
of Flemish Garden Wall bond (with some blue headers), small section of rat-trap
bond. Tile roof, hipped, some gables, flat-roofed dormers. Symmetrical north
front of two storeys and attic, five windows (but all blocked except the upper
centre and ground-floor west side). Old upper sash, ground-floor Victorian sash,
early C19 dormer casements. Early C19 doorcase, with flat canopy on carved
brackets, reeded architrave enclosing a fanlight and six-panelled door. At each
end there are triple sashes, and the rear wings have casements and some Victorian
sashes. Inside there is a C18 staircase with turned rails, and splat balusters

of the rear part suggests an earlier origin, and the front block was raised and
given an attic in the early C19.
