Square-headed window openings with cut-stone sills, and one-over-one timber sash windows possibly having some two-over-two timber sash windows. Square-headed door opening with timber panelled door. Set back from line of road in own grounds with unpainted rendered boundary wall to forecourt having unpainted rendered piers with cut-stone coping, and iron gate.
Appraisal
A pleasantly-composed small-scale house of modest architectural aspirations presenting an early aspect, thereby making a positive contribution to the historic appeal of the street scene in the centre of Castlewarren.
