HOUSE - Physical Description 1
A double-fronted, unpretentious, single-storey, early cottage on the street line, with its high gable facing, with an attic. It has a squared and coursed bluestone rubble front with quoins and random rubble at sides, at right on the boundary as a parapet. It has a slate roof and the upper gable is timber.
