PLAN: a complex building, which seems to have begun as a plain

range, to which hipped ends have been later added; a late C20
garage has been added to the right of the entrance front.
EXTERIOR: street front is in 2 storeys and attic, 3+1 windows;
a central hipped 2-light dormer above three 4-pane sashes,
above a large hipped C20 porch flanked by 4-pane sashes. To
the left the added hipped section has very narrow and tall
lights at each level, and to the right is a wide addition with
garage doors under an arch. The original gables are coped,
with large rendered stacks.
The S end has 2 large arched openings at first floor above a
flat-roofed extension with arched lights, and the plain N end
has a brick and slate outbuilding attached and set back, at an
angle.
The W front, away from the road, has a gabled range in 2
storeys, with steep roof, with 2 arched, wide-spaced 2-light
casements and one small insertion, above a glazed
conservatory, and 2 and 1-light casements; behind are 2
flat-roofed dormers in the rear slope of the front range. In
the re-entrant angle between the ranges are 2 small sections,
with a Diocletian lunette window above an arched sash.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: across the full width of the front is a
coursed rubble boundary wall approx 1.6m high, raised in
brickwork for approx 15m length at the S end, returned across
the S boundary approx 6m.
