formerly jettied; fronted in white brick; steeply-pitched
slate roof with wide plain eaves.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and attics; 3 window range: sashes in
flush cased frames, the 2 outer formerly 16-pane and the

mouldings. No framing is exposed on the upper storey. The roof
timbers are C19 and C20 replacements.
