Square-headed openings throughout, with timber sliding sash windows, two-over-two pane to porch and to ground floor front elevation, one-over-one pane to first floor front elevation and to north elevation, six-over-six pane to east gable, and timber panelled doors, that to front elevation with plain overlight. Three-bay single-storey outbuilding to north of yard, having pitched corrugated sheet roof, rubble stone walls and square-headed openings. Rendered garden wall with square-profile piers and wrought-iron pedestrian gate to front of house, single rendered square-profile pier with wrought-iron gate to site entrance.
Appraisal
Curious elevations due to construction in two phases. The large blank expanses of wall to the north elevation appear to have formed the rear elevation of the original structure, with the wing addressing the road being a later addition. The hipped roof and central door opening are informed by polite architecture, however its asymmetry is more typical of the vernacular tradition.
