right, with ovolo-moulded mullions, of 5 lights. To left of this are two
2-light C20 casements. To right of the projecting wing is a portion of the
C17 wing mostly masked by the C20 two-storey additions but having a plank
door to the ground floor at far right. To left of the wing is a lean-to
porch in the re-entrant angle of C20 date and a 3-light window to its front

masks the lower body of the projecting gabled wing with two ground floor 4-
light windows. To right of this a glazed C20 door. To the first floor a
2-light C19 window. The projecting wing has a 2-light first floor window
and at left is a ground floor lean-to with a 3-light C19 casement and a
