Two storeys, the building sits beneath a shallow pitched gable roof laid in slates. Brick chimney
stack positioned on the ridgeline. Walls are constructed of buff coloured brick with red/orange brick
used to articulate fenestration openings and quoins. Three 8 over 8 timber sash windows to first

openings to ground floor contained beneath red brick arches. This building maintains much of its

detailing and use of contrasting coloured materials make it a visually attractive and eye catching
building which makes a positive contribution to the street scene. Local Heritage Asset in conservation area (1).
