front door at right end; 4-panel door with plain overlight and
side light with glazing bars. To left of it, more or less in
the centre, paired 4-pane sashes with horizontal glazing bars.
Left end taken up by water conduit (see below). Moulded timber
cornice at first-floor level and front above is slate-hung
including 2 bands of scallop-shaped slates. 2 flat-roofed
canted bays rise through first and second floors and contain
front horned 4-pane sashes to first floor and replacement
sashes without glazing bars to second floor, moulded timber
cornices above the windows. Deep eaves with plastered soffit
and moulded timber cornice. Gable-ended roof.

SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: Water conduit in round-headed alcove to
ground-floor left with water pipe protruding from back.
Projecting flat surround. Stone plaque in wall above has
concave top corners, an incised reeded frame and is inscribed
with the initials "FS" (presumably Feoffees of South Town) the
dates 1511, p1792 (sic.) and, at the bottom in small numbers,
1899. The 2 later dates possibly relate to rebuilding phases
of this house.
