the lean-to roof. At south end of house, a modern single-storey extension with flat
roof containing a loggia and a garage.
Internally, north front ground floor room has a late C18 moulded plaster cornice and
dado, and contemporary hob grate, all in "Adam" style. Main rear ground floor room
has re-used mid-C18 panelling with raised panels, cornice with dentils and egg and
