probably originally the right hand room byt the house may have been turned round, the

left and the former lower end re-used as a parlour. The partition between the 2
right hand rooms has been removed.

door to the stair hall to right of centre; C20 French window with glazing bars at
the extreme right; attractive fenestration of C19 3 and 4-light small pane timber
casements.
Interior: Both left hand fireplaces have bread ovens, but the first from left
(probabl the original hall) has one moulded stone to the right hand jamb; stud
partition wall between this room and the passage. C17 timber front door.
