House, now offices. Late C18, restored in late C20. Red brick
in Flemish bond and gauged; darker and lighter red brick to
ground-floor. 2-span roof of tile, each one hipped.
EXTERIOR: 3 storeys. Curved front of 3-window range. In the
centre of elevation a flat-arched entrance with overlight of
decorative glazing bars. The entrance is set in an aedicule
consisting of fluted Tuscan pilasters and entablature with
dentil cornice as well as modillions; segmental pediment with
raking cornice of same design. The jambs and soffits to the
inner doorcase are panelled. All windows are camber arched
with lintels of gauged brick; the sashes and frames of those
to the ground floor are set nearly flush with the wall plane
while those above have deep reveals. To either side of
entrance are 2 windows; the sashes in these and all other
windows are of an original 8/8 design, though many are
certainly of recent fabrication. Ground floor has pale
red-brick dressings to party walls, window dressings and a
dado range which comes nearly to the height of the window
sills; the intervening spaces are filled with dark red brick
in header bond. There is storey band of 2 bricks' thickness
between the ground and first floors and of 3 bricks' between
the first and second floors. Brick entablature with brick
dentil cornice to the second floor. Stacks to party wall.
The interior of the ground floor has been much altered and
retains few original features.
