A photograph of c1906 shows a large hanging lamp on wrought iron curved brackets over entry. In use as a restaurant, Number 3 Main Street, since late C20.

Shallow cellar light beneath each ground floor window. Eight-panelled double door with plain fanlight. All windows with rusticated voussoirs and keystones. Fine doorcase with open pediment on 3/4 Ionic columns with odd scroll volutes. Panelled reveals. Left end wall has C20 dry-dash cladding and long stair light with C20 glazing.
