Full Description

House…built in the first half of the 18th century; part of the front and the structure behind have been destroyed to make way for a garage entrance. The eaves cornice enriched with details and the widely proportioned doorcase, which has been reset, are of wood; the doorcase has fluted ionic side pilasters and a pedimented entablature with pulvinated frieze. The two windows remaining W. of the doorway and the range of six windows on the first floor have flat brick heads with keystones. The plan appears to have comprised a central entrance hall and staircase with one room to each side. (1)
