in the wall with a projecting slate hood over. Above this is a small window
just below the eaves. This doorway opens against a chimney with well-dressed

window and one other sash in 2nd bay. Large stylobats are also visible in the
wall for the 2 central trusses. The attached cottage rises ½ a storey higher
and has double chamfered mullioned window of 3 lights (one mullion removed),
