House, now offices. Late C18, remodelled and extended late
C19. Roughcast render over brick with plain-tiled roof.
EXTERIOR: original building 3-storeyed, 3-window range. Former
central doorway and entrance hall removed in late C19
remodelling. Canted bay window to right, and 16-pane sash to
left and on first floor. 12-pane sash windows to attic storey.
Central window to first floor with Y-tracery in round-arched
architrave. Moulded circular panel in centre of attic storey.
All windows in moulded architraves with stressed keystones.
Moulded stone eaves cornice.
Late C19 wing of 2 storeys, 2-window range. Doorway in angle
with original building: part-glazed door with stained glass in
upper panels and canopy hood below overlight. Paired sashes
above the doorway. 2-pane sash window to right of doorway, and
similar doors (no longer in use) to right. Big oriel bow
window with some stained glass to upper right. Axial stacks in

INTERIOR; the building is largely as remodelled in the late
C19, but some reeded doorcases survive, and the staircase
apparently incorporates the balusters and moulded treads of an
original C18 stair, reconstructed with late C19 newels, and
probably relocated.
