(ii) Attached single-bay single-storey outbuilding, c.1875, to west with single-bay single-storey higher range to right. Reroofed, c.1950.

An attractive modest-scale range of informal appearance forming a pleasant feature in the streetscape. Well maintained the house presents an early aspect on account of the retention of the original composition attributes together with substantial quantities of the historic fabric. A range of outbuildings of rustic quality, appropriate for the position of the complex in the outskirts of the town as it merges with the rural countryside, enhances the group and setting values of the site.
