Substantial detached house. Early C19, possibly incorporating an earlier
structure. Blocked stucco; gabled-end slate roof. L-shaped plan with rear
extensions making it a double-depth house; the intersection of the 2 main ranges

panelled door under rectangular traceried fanlight, and flanking 4-pane sashes;
cornice with dentil frieze with triglyphs, and pilasters. Pilaster quoins. 2
external end stacks; that to the right could indicate the existence of an older
core to the house. Both end gable walls treated as pediments. Extending to the
right, and set well back is a later C19 double depth wing, each component
separately gabled, and forming a 2-window range with 12-pane hornless sashes to
both floors; internal end stack. The left-hand rear wing, gable, with pediment set
well back behind hipped-roofed conservatory; left-hand side elevation with 2
hornless sash windows to 1st floor, 6 panes up, 12 down and a balcony with cast
