painted brick header-bond front, white weatherboarded
north-west flank and red brick (partly painted) Flemish-bond
rear elevation; large roof of plain tiles hipped but with
central valley. Central stack within valley and early C17

fronting long sloping shoulder.

gabled dormers one with plain 2-light casement and other with
8-pane C20 window. Dentilled brick eaves. 1st floor has 3 sash
windows with segmental heads, 2 with margin glazing and one

fronts, that to the north-west with an oriel bow window with
flat roof, moulded cornice and 8 vertically proportioned
panes, and simple C20 door opening. The centre shop front once
had similar bow but now has C20 butcher's shop front of glazed
tiles, large sash front and blind box. The south-east unit has
a larger slightly curved plate-glass bow window with its head
concealed by projecting fascia and door opening with segmental

timber-frame probably contemporary with the front and reeded
fireplace surround with roundels and mantel shelf, on 1st
