House, now office. Early C19, altered. Facade of stock brick in Flemish bond,
the side and rear of flint with brick dressings; modern tiled roof. Rectangular
double-depth plan. Three storeys and 3 bays over a basement, symmetrical; the
ground floor (the lower part of which is covered by unsympathetic boarding) has
openings in round-headed arched recesses: a central doorway (up 4 steps) with
fluted wooden surround and fanlight with radiating glazing bars, flanked by 12-
pane sashed windows with gauged brick heads (a ventilator inserted in each
window, and a large signboard over the doorway and smaller ones over the
windows, all with boxed lights over them); the upper floors have blind windows
in the centre and sashed windows of 12 and 9 panes respectively, and all have
gauged brick heads. Projecting eaves, gable chimneys. The left return wall is
built of flint and the chimney stack, which is extruded, of brick. Rear: 2-storey
rear wall of flint with brick quoins and dressings, the ground floor reduced by
higher ground to a basement, the area round this and a bridge over it in the
centre protected by elegant wrought-iron bar railings with Greek-key bands at
the top and bottom (but those to the right damaged); segmental-headed sashed
windows at the lower level, a doorway under a 16-pane fixed window in the
centre of the upper level and 16-pane sashed windows in the outer bays; dormer
over centre. Interior not inspected.
