chimneystack in left-hand gable-wall. On ridge near the right-hand end a late C16
or C17 granite ashlar stack with tapered top. Position of stack in relation to an

left of doorway in ground storey a 3-light wood casement window with 2 panes per
light. At left-hand end a large fixed sash of 15 panes. In second storey the 2
left-hand windows are 6-paned wood sashes. The right-hand window is a small 2-light
wood casement with 2 panes per sash. Left-hand gable-wall, the present entrance
front, is 2 windows wide. Doorway to right has 4 panels, the 2 lower panels flush,
and a moulded brass knocker. To left of it is a single-storeyed canted bay window
with a slated pent roof. In second storey are 2 wooden 6-paned sash windows. The
