bond (sides and rear in English garden wall bond), composition
tile roof. Rectangular double-depth plan. Two storeys, a
symmetrical 3-window facade; central round-headed doorway (now
blocked) with imposts, under shallow C20 porch imitating
open-pedimented C18 doorcase; altered windows with small-pane
glazing, those at ground floor enlarged and furnished with C20
bows and those above with C20 tilting casements, all these
windows with flat-arched heads of gauged brick. Dentilled
wooden eaves cornice; gable chimneys. C20 single-storey
addition at left end. The rear, facing the barn (q.v.), has a
C20 porch to the back door but is otherwise almost completely
original, all the windows having wooden mullions and transoms:
2 large segmental-headed 6-light windows on each floor, all
with small panes and mostly with a horizontal-sliding sash
opening in the centre of the lower tier (but that to the right
at ground floor with restored joinery in matching style except
the opening, which is a top-hung casement). Below the other
ground floor window are 2 semicircular steps (the upper of
wood), probably a former milk-churn stand. Interior altered.
