rebuilt in brick. South elevation: timber-framed gable end to left has a
C20 glazed lean-to addition at ground-floor level, a 3-light first-floor
casement and an attic light; C19 gable end to right has a ground-floor 2-
light and a 3-light casement, the former with cambered head, the latter set
within a blocked doorway with a pointed-arched hood mould; above is a 3-
light casement with a cambered head and a brick stack. A C20 single-storey
wing adjoins to right. North elevation of east return has sandstone quoins,
a 3-light and a 4-light stone splayed-mullioned ground-floor window, two
first-floor 3-light casements with cambered heads, a hipped roof dormer with
a 3-light casement, and to the right a large blocked doorway with sandstone
quoins and lintel and an inserted C20 door. Interior: the timber-framed
