The single-storey Jupp House replaces an old garage and shed that were tucked away behind a brick wall at a bend in the street.
A new pedestrian entrance is slotted into a gap between brick piers that previously formed the entrance to the demolished garage. The black gate mirrors the appearance of two garage doors on the opposite side of the street.
