and with small service rooms behind the front rooms. In circa late C19 a
small single storey wing was added at the centre of the rear.

first floor windows to right and left are tripartite 8-pane sashes with
flanking 4-pane sashes and at the centre of the first floor a 12-pane sash.
All the sash windows have horns and there are probably late C19 or C20
replacements following the original pattern. A flight of granite steps up
to the wide central doorway which has an early C19 6-panel door, the bottom
panels flush, the top panels are glazed; the late C19 wooden porch with
lattice side and asbestos slate lean-to roof.
Attic casements in the gable ends. Rear elevation has 3 3-light casements
on the first floor; a sash to the left on the ground floor and a plank door
to the right. At the centre of the back a small gable ended single storey
wing added later in the C19 with a corrugated asbestos roof.
Interior not inspected. The early C19 joinery seems to be intact including
panelled doors and a dog-leg staircase which has stick balusters and turned
newels.
