flanked by octagonal piers which rise as turrets, which are of
limestone and have worn carved panels and crockets. The outer

mullioned and transomed windows, rising above mullioned canted
cellar windows. On the 1st floor the outer bays have cross

moulded string course at sill level, one which rises as hood
moulds over the windows, and one below the parapet, which
rises to form a gable over the central bay. To left and right
there are corbelled turrets with limestone caps. The gables
are coped and have chimneys with octagonal shafts: the
right-hand ones retain their pots. At the left there is a link
to No.117, with a slated roof behind an entrance with C20
doorway and steps and an enlarged painted surround.
