2. C1830-50 villa in 2 builds, the south end apparently a slightly later addition. Two storeys stock brick with stucco and Portland stone dressings. West side elevation of 4 irregular bays, effectively 3 forming the service end to north and the entrance bay with the south end containing the principal ground and first floor rooms facing south towards the river. Glazing bar sashes with stucco reveals, tripartite to ground floor left, segmental flat gauged brick arches. First floor sill band. Narrow round headed blind window off centre, first floor, left of external chimney stack. Parapet with spaced dentil string and stone coping. The south bay of this elevation is framed by channelled brick piers with a stone string and block brackets to the coping of this part of the parapet. These details are returned to the pediment gabled south end elevation which has the feature of a large 2-storey rectangular stone plastered bag window. Tripartite arrangement of sashed and casement lights, bracketed cornice and antefixae to lead roof. First floor stone balcony on shaped brackets with capped stone dies articulating 3 bays of crossed bar pattern iron balustrading. Stable wing to the west of this elevation is a slightly later addition with coupled round headed windows above segmental arched former stable doors. Irregular east elevation. A riverside villa predating the industrialisation of the southern part of the Isle of Dogs. One of the very few remaining in what was to become an almost totally working class area.
