Location

Long two-storey, five-window front possibly remodelled from earlier building, as right two windows are closer spaced and there is some different stonework in the lower angles. Paired brackets to eaves. Round arched windows with stone voussoirs, slate sills and casement-pair glazing with fixed Y-tracery fanlights. Centre half-glazed door, Y-tracery fanlight in porch on 4 timber octagonal posts with simple corniced flat top. Glazed panels between post heads.
