House. C18, refenestrated early C19. Painted stucco, probably
over cob to the ground floor, slate left-hand gable, slate
roof with a rendered stack to rear.
PLAN: originally a single-depth 2-room plan with rear left
lateral stack, later extended to rear.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys; 3-window range. The house itself is a
symmetrical 2-window range with a window to right over
carriage entrance. A coved eaves cornice unusually high above
the first-floor windows implies that the roof may have been
raised. To first floor are 6/6-pane sash windows in forward
frames with flaps to hold upper sashes instead of the usual
counterweight-and-pulley system. To ground floor 8/8-pane
sashes flank door with 6 raised-and-fielded panels and
overlight with pilasters which have lozenge shapes to frieze
and dentil cornice. Carriage arch to right has a shallow
segmental arch supported by the upper part of pilasters with
friezes and cornices.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
