ings have dressed stone arches. Central doorway with similar stonework with
blind fanlight and C19 flush panel door, the top panel glazed and a later
C19 or early C20 brick porch with a hipped slate roof.

roof. Set back at the left hand end a low 2-storey wing with a hipped slate
roof extends to the rear where there is a loft doorway and external stone
