Description
Detached three-bay two-storey rendered former house, built c.1860. The building is now in use as a veterinary surgery. To the west is a large two-storey addition built c.1900 while to the north is a single-storey addition built sometime between 1920 and 1940. The panelled door is recessed within a panel, which itself is recessed within a two-storey projecting gabled bay. The door has plain sidelights and fanlight. Windows are flat-headed and are six over six sash with margins. A projecting moulded sill course extends around the building. At first floor level the stylised moulded keystones were probably added in c. 1920; it is likely that the render was renewed at that time. The pitched roof is slated and there are cast-iron rainwater goods. The chimneystacks to the front of the building have been removed. The building is sited close to the main road and is slightly set back behind a low rubble wall.
Appraisal
Now some what altered, late Victorian building which has been successfully converted to an alternative use while preserving much of the buildings original character.
