rubble, the upper storey of brick with a raised band at
first-floor level. Slate roof. Old red-brick chimney on left
party-wall of front section.
Double-depth plan, one room wide, with staircase between the

box-frames. Moulded wooden eaves cornice.

fireplace with C19 iron basket-grate. Staircase altered, but
flight rising to first floor retains some slender late C18
turned balusters with square necking-pieces; rounded handrail
ramped up at top over a column-newel. Upper-storey rooms not
