The street front is of 18th cent. brown brick to the top of the first floor windows; all above, in Gault bricks and the roof, are of the 19th cent. The front was symmetrical, with a central doorway, two windows to each side and five above; the original door case has gone; one of the windows has been converted into a second doorway….
