with ornamental crest tiles; a coved wood eaves cornice to the
C18 range.

3-light casement windows. The doorway has a wood architrave
and panelled reveals.
The C19 extension on the south has a hipped roof over the

the 1939-45 War as an Air Raid Wardens' post. Original
features inside the house are mainly concealed. One upper
