House. "JA MA 1746" (John and Mary Andrew) on door lintel

decorative fanlight flanked by 2-light chamfered mullion
windows. 3 similar windows on first floor (one mullion

7-light double-chamfered cavetto-moulded mullion windows and
a C20 window on the ground floor and 3, 4 and 4-light
chamfered windows on the first. The finely carved 1746
datestone with fleur-de-lys is now on an internal wall.
