House. C16, extended C18 to C20. Timber framed and exposed close-studding with plaster infill, and extended with red brick and tile hanging. Plain tiled roof. The original range is a 4 bay continuous-jettied house on brick plinth with jetty on brackets, returned to right and with moulded bressummer. Half- hipped roof with stack to left and projecting at end right. Four leaded wooden C20 casements on 1st floor, and 2 on ground floor, with blocked mullioned window to centre. Plank and muntin studded door to right. Projecting C18 to C20 wing to left, of 2 storeys and garret, with half-hipped roof, and hipped projection to right.
