rear. Two storeys, 1:2:1 bays, irregular fenestration late C19 and C20, wood and metal casements, ground floor 2
segmental headed window openings, left of entrance, one to right, plank door, end bay unlit. It is possible that

winder stairs set against rear wall, plank and muntin screen dividing inner room, partially restore with painted
figures of early C16 on both planks and muntins, no doorway between the 2 rooms evident. Depressed Tudor arch head to
