end chimneys. 2-storey, 2-bay rear wing to left has replaced C20 fenestration

2-bay rear wing to right has boarded door in surround with chamfered, alternating

Early C18 closed-string, dogleg staircase, of 4 flights plus landing rail, has

pieces in right and left front bedrooms. Right bedroom also has 2 walls of late
