Rendered, bitumenised hipped slate roof, 2 rebuilt brick stacks at rear. Square 2-storey range, with single storey C20 addition to left not of special interest. 3 windows, 16/12/16-pane sashes in plain reveals. Two 16-pane sashes on ground floor with central projecting portico with 2 square corner piers, 2 fluted Doric columns widely spaced, and shallow pediment with simple moulded edge.
