Ground floor carefully remodelled in C20 with 2 large tripartite sash windows with glazing bars and a cash-point with glazed overlight. Doorway to left with canopy on consols brackets. Some good interior features: some late Cl7 large fielded panels to ground floor; a more extensive series to 1st floor.
