flush cased frames. A central doorcase with deep reveals has a

6-panel doors, panelled internal shutters.
2 rear chimney-stacks are flanked by alcoves. The top storey
is an early C19 addition with a typical upper stair: stick
balusters, rounded newels, curved handrail. Part of the timber

The south wall is a shared partition wall with the adjoining

in the original upper wall now overlooks a C19 stair, which is
linked to a rear extension. A C16 wing extending from part of
the rear has a 2-bay ground storey room with an ogee-moulded
main beam and cross-beam.
