Appraisal
Interest added to regular façade by unusual bow to front elevation, which adds to imposing appearance. Decorative and artistic interest added by ridge crestings and façade enlivened by features such as quoins and label mouldings. Retains much of its original form as well as early materials and features such as timber sash and casement windows. The lantern is an unusual and curious feature.
