roof. Three gabled dormers with small-paned windows, eaves. Two small-paned
sashes on first storey with one set of casements central: 2 millions and one
transom. First floor band, central front door with elaborate cut-brick, rubbed
lintel; and a pair of small-paned sashes either side, under straight arches
with exposed boxes.
