broken by four gabled dormers the two at the centre are larger than the two towards the gables. Four bays, central two bays have mullion and transom windows which extend into recess of doorway. Original doors. One bay is currently used as a shop and may have been so in the past. Ground floor constructed of brick first floor and apex of central bays are pebble dashed. Apexes of smaller dormers are tile hung. First floor casement windows with leaded lights. Timber work painted in Rothschild maroon colour and carved Rothschild motif positioned at first floor level between central bays. These buildings have been identified as local note buildings because they retain significant proportion of their original fabric and architectural detailing. They are instantly recognisable as Rothschild estate buildings, due to their design, choice of materials, colour pallete and Rothschild motif. Architect – William Taylor.
