Description

A single-storey white rendered house with a low tiled roof, seen from the front corner. A veranda with a balustrade and square pillars runs along the front, and a central dark wooden door is reached by a few steps. Dark shuttered windows, a wooden gate and fence, and a low wall line the unpaved forecourt, and a windmill-type wind vane rises above the roof.
