from a lateral stack at the back, the right-hand room has a gable end (now

hipped slate roof. To the right of centre there is a recess on the ground
floor which might have originally been a bread over for the axial stack.
Set back on the lower left-hand end the thatch of the main roof is swept
down over a single storey outshut with a hipped roof and a C20 plank door.
The rear elevation has only 2 small windows to the left into the C18-C19
extension and a large rendered shaft to the lateral stack on the right. At
the right-hand end the wall continues on a gateway with a thatched roof and
a reused chamfered 4-centred arch stone doorway head.
