The trough has bead-and-reel enrichment and channels water to an internal drain. Bold ridge chimney stacks. Rear in brick, partly rendered. Interior: various internal features show Art Nouveau influence. Timber fittings, including panelled doors with carved roundels above and brass ironmongery are all of a high standard.
