casement window above. Rear corner rounded to facilitate vehicular access. Rear:

roofed extension.
Interior: inner room with chamfered cross ceiling beam, stopped. End fireplace
with chamfered lintel and run-out stops. Hall with chamfered ceiling cross beam
with scroll stops. Fireplace blocked. Rough axial beam to service end.
Roof space: 3 jointed cruck trusses over higher end, all with morticed and pegged

room end cruck truss has a dovetailed collar, the others have cranked collars,
morticed and pegged.
