The Department's description
Exterior description and setting
This building has been demolished, leaving only outbuildings which are of no architectural interest. Described in the first survey in 1970 as 'a two-storey building part dwelling part out-buildings, a further extension also contains outbuildings. The walls are harled and whitened, the roof is slated. A gabled porch contains the entrance flanked either side by a D/H window with sashes divided into two panes by horizontal g.b., upper windows are D/H with sashes divided into three panes by vertical g.b. The sheeted door is surmounted by a five-pane fanlight. The architectural interest of this building is marred by the addition of the porch and alteration to G.F. windows.'
