finished in C19 brick. 3-unit plan. One storey and attic; 3-window range.
Segmental brick arches over central C20 door with C20 porch, blocked door to
right and glazed door to left, and C20 casement in right outer bay: C20 roof
dormers. Interior: 2 pairs of raised crucks with collars and chamfered through
