Early C19. Originally a square building with symmetrical facades, now extended
southwards. One storey. Slate hipped roof, with stack at the original pyramid
position. The north facade has a central arched recess, with 2 rectangular
recesses on each side, the resulting 4 wide pilasters (with grooved fret design)
being linked by a plinth at the base and a fillet below the eaves: the round-
arched openings in each recess and the central archway are now blank panels.
On the west side the southward-extension includes an arched doorway, the 3
panels each having a window (2 old sashes and modern casement). On the east
side sash windows are on each side of the central doorway (with added porch)
but the extended panel has 2 unequal casements.
