Two-storey of yellow brick with unusual arched windows and red-brick window arches on the northern gable. Slate roof. Chimneys appear to have been removed (see photograph in The Cabinet Maker and Complete House Furnisher, 27 October 1923, p.210). Thought to have been the factory of Bonnet and Ford (ibid.)
