August 2005. Building recording.
A lobby entrance house with a pantiled roof and rendered façade. The modern eastern extension encloses a later chimney stack which has the date 1869 inscribed on a brick. It appears that the north wall was extended a number of times and the middle area possibly in the 18th century as indicated by an inscribed brick (1757). The north-west extension is probably 19th century and the north-east section was extended by the present owner in 1982. This house has a number of different phases and further study would be required to understand the construction sequences.
See (S4) for further details.
