main range. Main range gabled to right. Projecting brick stack to long
left side of cross-wing, rear stack to left end of main range, and multiple
brick ridge stack to right end. Irregular fenestration of 3 windows; one
two-light casement to cross-wing, one gabled two-light through dormer with
plain tile roof to left end of main range, and one single-light eyebrow
eaves dormer towards centre of main range, with blocked window suggested in
weatherboarding below it. Four casement windows to ground floor. Boarded
door with flat bracketed hood to No. 1 to right end of front gable of cross-
wing and boarded door to No. 2 to left end of main range, both reached from
landing with wooden handrail, turned balusters and ragstone base, up four

Exposed framing. Ground floor of cross-wing has chamfered cross beam, broad
close-set joists, wall framing of heavy scantling, and later brick fireplace.
Long shaped jowl to rear principal post of presumed right end-of-hall truss,
and broadly-spaced studding to ground-floor partition under it. Right end
ground-floor room has broad close-set axial joists, shutter groove under
former jetty bressumer, and solid-spandrel bracket to underbuilt jetty.
Mortices for axial partition towards front of bay. Front right corner post
