Description
The northern most brick building is Victorian in character built of strong red brick. Its appearance has been spoiled by the introduction of uPVC look-a-like sash windows at ground floor. The southern building is Georgian with later alterations including a mansard roof. Despite changes of use and alterations to its built form, the building has retained a simple elegance.
