rendered; turnerised slate roof, hipped at ends; stacks with
rendered shafts.
PLAN: Single-depth block, 3-rooms-wide with an entrance into
an off-centre passage and a rear stair projection. The
position of the passage and the stacks, one to the left and
one axial, suggests the possibility of an earlier core to the

regular fenestration. Deep coved eaves. Gabled enclosed porch
to left of centre with a turnerised roof; 2-leaf C20

with slender turned balusters and a flat handrail; joinery
