dressings; green slate roof. Neo-Georgian. Two-storey with
attic. Three-storey wing to rear is not of special interest.
Front: 7-window with central doorway having stone entablature on
Tuscan pilasters; double small-paned glazed doors. Small-paned
metal casements to ground floor and to central upper floor window,
each with rusticated brick flat arches and jambs; central upper

5 attic flat-roofed dormers with 12-pane sashes. Moulded eaves
