in build to left of front door. 4-panel door in C20 timber porch with
replacement 16-pane sash beneath flat stone arch to right. 2-light
Yorkshire sashes with timber lintels to left. First floor: replacement 16-
pane sashes. Flat stone arches to right and timber lintels to left. End
and ridge stacks. Interior: the position of the ceiling beam in the main
living room is off-centre, suggesting that the passage was the result of a
later partitioning. Open string staircase with slender column-on-vase

and of late C17 date. North Yorkshire and Cleveland Vernacular Buildings
