cresting. 2 storeys. Broad 3-bay gabled front with large buttresses has
pair of shop windows flanking central recess with 2 part-glazed doors;
datestone above, beneath 4-light casement window. Boarded double doors under
basket arch in left bay, and casement window to right. Stepped and shaped

buttresses and windows in alternate bays, lower unbuttressed 2-bay part to
