gabled old plain tile roofs; brick end stacks. Double-depth plan, 3 storeys;
2-window range. Front has two 3-storey bow windows, each with projecting reeded
cornices over early C19 tripartite sashes; to right is similar cornice set over
Tuscan columns and C20 door with flanking strip lights set in reeded architrave
with roundels. Deep cornice to roof. Triple-gabled rear elevation and left side

covered bridge, with octagonal glazing bars to windows, at first floor level.
Interior: early C19 reeded cornice and architraves to ground-floor room on left,
and moulded cornice, early C19 panelling and segmental-arched service doorways to

panelled dados, and moulded handrails set on turned balusters. C18 fielded panelled
