Doorway, off-centre to right has 6-panel door, the four lower panels flush, the 2 upper panels glazed; porch with solid wall to right has slated pent roof. To left of doorway a projecting lateral chimney-stack was rendered (serving the hall) and tapered top; short added shaft. At base of stack to right a small rectangular projection, probably an oven. Interior: hall has internal jetty at lower end, which must formerly have projected into an open hall; jetty now plastered in, but owner has seen joists beneath. Heavily moulded main ceiling-beam probably early C16, but fits badly and may have been brought from elsewhere. Passage now has window at rear, but owner has found decayed remnants of doorway in the wall. Kitchen wholly altered, but owner says large fireplace and oven in rear wall, now plastered in. Roof rebuilt late C19 or early C20.
