symmetrical façade with large flanking gables, half-timbered and pebble dashed. Central porch with hipped roof. Smaller gables over first floor windows in central block flanked by big gables (minimal projection) with 2 storey splayed window bays under hipped red tile roofs.

extensive group, late 1870s in Old English style, probably by Aspell, in good imitation of Devey, all in
various forms, none repeated.
