rooms are those on the front, one either side of a large central entrance hall which

axial stack. The kitchen is rear right and has a rear lateral stack. There is a
second doorway on the left end and a corridor connects this doorway to the entrance
hall. There is a solid axial wall between the front and rear rooms which suggests
that there is here the shell of an earlier house which occupied the front part.
House is 2 storeys.
Exterior: regular but not symmetrical 3-window front. There are canted bay windows
either end at ground floor level; these may be secondary. The central ground floor
window is a C20 replacement casements but the first floor windows are original

original 6-panel door and doorcase which includes scrolled consoles. In front is a
C20 flat roofed porch of moulded concrete. The left end wall includes a C19 sash
with margin panes and there is another to rear.
