door case and flat stone hood on brackets. To left is one 2-light
cyma-mullioned window and a blocked window to right. First floor
has two 2-light cyma-mullioned windows and one 2-light beaded-
mullioned window, all leaded glass. Rear and right gable return
have single, 2 and 3-light beaded and cyma-mullioned windows. Wing

moulded window and one blocked door to right. Left return has a
pair of 8-pane sashes in flat case with mullion to ground floor and

floor and two 2-light cyma mullioned windows and a C19 casement to
first floor.

difference between the ceiling and floor levels of the two wings
suggests that the house was originally one range with an additional
wing built slightly later.
