Roughcast; slate roof; right end stack with stone shaft and

passage to the left. Blocked doorway to No.80.
2 storeys. Asymmetrical 2:2-window range, 3 windows to the
ground floor. No.79 has a half-glazed C20 front door to the
left; recessed C20 front door to the right of No.78.
Ground-floor windows mixture of small-pane casements and
sashes. 4 first-floor gabled dormers glazed with one over
one-pane sashes with margin panes.
INTERIOR: No.79 inspected. Chamfered ground-floor beams with
pyramidal stops and newel stair. First-floor partitions appear
to be secondary, ceiling plastered over the trusses with no
access to apex-trusses appear to have cruck-like feet and
