House. Early C18, with early C19 front. Brick front, stucco
rendered and lined, with slate roof. The western half of the
house, originally a long range set gable-on to the street,
with a brick-vaulted cellar below, has been re-roofed in line
with the rest of the front, though with a higher ridge. The
east gable of the re-roofed section, in a mixture of flint,
brick and stone, is dated 1806. 2 end chimney-stacks that on
the east set externally, both with plain red brick shafts.
Bracketed eaves cornice.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys; part attic; cellar. 2 windows to each
storey: small-paned sashes in deep reveals, longer on the
ground floor than those above; on the left wider also.
Segmental keystones. Slightly recessed 6-panelled door with
the top 2 panels glazed; solid projecting surround with flat
pilasters, plain frieze and cornice, and a slightly arched
head to opening; a slipped keystone bears the head of a
smiling bearded man.
The rear range is in a mixture of flint and re-used Abbey
stone. Stone arches to 2 rear windows, each with a keystone
bearing a rampant lion holding a garland. The eastern half of
the house is butted up against the older range with a straight
joint in the walling; it blocks one upper window and partly
covers the dated gable.
Adjoining the west end of the house is an outbuilding of the
same height: front of re-used stone and random brick,
colourwashed; rebuilt wall in red brick; gable-end rendered;
clay-pantiled gambrel roof; 2 high double doors.
INTERIOR: a C18 duck's nest grate in one rear upper room; in
the front upper rooms a pair of matching cast-iron grates of
c1830.
