returned narrow wing has a hipped end over a canted corner, to
the front and on the diagonal face there is a 2-light above
the same, taken to floor level at the ground floor. A valley
stack, and a further eaves stack to the rear of the back wing.
INTERIOR not inspected.
SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: across the whole width of the site,
projecting to the right of the gabled ends, is a painted
rubble wall approx 1.5m high, with a small iron gate at the
right-hand end; 9 steps lead to the slightly raised level at
which the house is set.
One of a series of C19 hotels in this street. Included for
group value.
