remaining windows are similar panels with uniform patterning of restored cable
and fan type. Plaintiled roof. 3 C19 gabled dormers with horizontally-
sliding small-pane sashes. An early C17 axial chimney of red brick, of

similar chimney but with twin diagonally-set square shafts. Mid C19 casements
with C20 boarded shutters. C20 doorway at lobby-entrance position: boarded
and battened door with dentilled cornice and arched head. To right is a lower
