To centre, far left and above door are 16-pane sashes in flush-wood frames;
a blocked doorway between windows to left. First floor- to centre and far
left - sashes with glazing bars in flush wood architraves. Blocked single-
and 3-light chamfered mullion windows. Gable coping to left; 2 brick stacks
with cogged shafts on ridge to left of door and far left. Right return:
main block - similar attic window to left return. Rear wing - outshut with
C19 fenestration. Rear: main block - blocked chamfered mullion windows;
rear wing - blocked door with cambered arch. Interior: large cavity to left
of fireplace in main room, east range, may be part of chimney or the lobby
behind blocked doorway. Fine staircase with turned balusters opposite
entrance in rear wing. The report of the North Yorkshire and Cleveland
Vernacular Buildings Study Group concluded that the east wing post-dates the
rear wing, but the dated door surround may have been repositioned when the
building was refenestrated in the late C18 - early C19. NYCVBSG Report No
493, 1978.
