has 4-light window with taking-in door over reduced to sash window. 2nd bay has
2-light window and original doorway to outer right hand side with much weathered
datestone said to record 1710 and the initials 'IIB'. Thus the original plan
had a gable entry. Over is gable stack. East front of 4 bays. 1st 2 bays are

broken between the ground floor windows. 2nd bay has taking-in door (solid) to

occupied by single storey outshot under cat slide roof and have early C19 doorways and windows, probably added to the main range.
