Gloucester and Berkeley Canal Company. Rendered, bitumenised
hipped slate roof, 2 rebuilt brick stacks at rear. Square 2-storey
range, with single storey C20 addition to left not of special
interest. 3 windows, 16/12/16-pane sashes in plain reveals. Two
16-pane sashes on ground floor with central projecting portico with
2 square corner piers, 2 fluted Doric columns widely spaced, and
