Description
November 1992. Grade II listed.
Late 19th century house, drawing office and workshop. The complex belonged to John Howard, a well-known barge and boat builder.
The house is built from red brick with a hipped slate roof, which forms a catslide to the rear. The ground floor has a tall doorcase with plain pilasters under a moulded hood on console brackets, and with a rectangular fanlight, now boarded.
The workshop is timber framed and covered with black weatherboarding. The roof is covered with corrugated iron. There is a pair of large doors with a loft hatch above on the north-east side. The north-east end elevation forms an asymmetrical gable and has a loft door and hoist spar.
The drawing office is detached on the south-west. It is a small single-storey weatherboarded building with a slate roof. <1>
