crested ridge tiles to right of front roof. Rendered chimney
with good pot on rear roof slope, to right, red brick chimney

EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. Plain, 5-window front with masonry
markings; pilaster strip at each end. Ground storey windows,
irregular in size and height, have mostly plain sashes, except

and third window from left has a 2-paned fixed sash. Wide
doorway, in second bay from right, has 4-panelled double

casements; external wooden shutters, probably added in late
C20.
Rear courtyard has old sash windows, mostly with single
