brick stack. One and a half storeys, 2 bays, the left bay slightly narrower

Central late C20 porch with plank door flanked by windows with cambered
brick arches; 2 gabled domers above; wall post exposed at right corner;
one window to addition. External stack at left end with offsets and metal
hatch door. Left return has a small window to left side of stack on each

porch with 3 light window to right, and 2 light window to left on each floor,
that to attic in gabled dormer. Further left is outshut with stack risking

plates, collared trusses, arched wind braces, through purlins, sooted rafters.
The original right hand gable apex has wattle and daub on external side
un-limewashed, possibly indicating that there was always a building against

with lambs tongue stops; on slight chamfer on some joists. Large fireplace
with timber bressumer to ground floor, left end.
