Further to the right the end wall of the main range has a 1st floor band, and a very large chimney stack with chamfered cap and small upper stage of brick. Hipped roof.Interior: mostly altered, but contains a fine panelled parlour with raised bolection-moulded panels above and below a dado rail, bolection- moulded corniced fireplace and overmantel panel, and matching architraves to doors.
