gabled plain tile roof, brick stacks. Double-depth block with
parallel ranges.

doorway on the south side; irregular fenestration, on both
upper floors late C18 sashes with glazing bars (4x3 panes).

rail; in principal rooms good C18 architraves and doors; on
ground floor in room to left a chamfered bridging beam, C18
architraves and doors, and a late C18 stone chimney-piece with
the key-block in the lintel carved in relief with vase and a
patera in relief at each end of the frieze; on the first floor
a room with an arched bed recess flanked by cupboards with
arched heads to the doors; in bathroom exposed chamfered
beams; in the gable-end of one of the attics a late C17 leaded
casement with a glass pane inscribed "Sarah Payne 1753" with
