rendered except for the centre and right of the ground floor
at the front and the mid-floor band. Rectangular plan.

sashes with glazing bars, in openings spanned by keyed arches
(where visible). Central flat-roofed porch has doorway on its
left and slit window on its right.
INTERIOR: not inspected, but known to have been remodelled
