House, red brick, dated 1729 with 'ACM'. L-shaped: projecting section of four bays, two storeys and dormers, with parapet and giant angle-pilasters. Recessed portion of three bays, similar, with restored classical doorcase. North gable has unusual very tall and narrow blocked window, against angle pilaster - perhaps recent: and a slit which is the last vestige of the small gable windows of 17th century style. Very poor condition.
