hand room heated from a lateral stack at the rear, the right hand room has a
gable end stack, and between the 2 rooms there is a straight staircase and a
doorway at the front which now leads to the front range. The front range
was added in the mid C19, providing 2 principal rooms and a stairwell
between at the centre.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Almost symmetrical 3-window west front, restored 2-

casements, centre first floor late C19 or C20 4-pane sash. Central doorway

survives including 2-panel doors and a plank partition beside the staircase
in the back range. In the front range a mid C19 open-well open string
staircase with stick balusters and moulded mahogany handrail wreathed over
the newel. The left hand front room has a marble chimneypiece with reeded
pilasters (probably imported from another house). The front right hand room
has a wooden reeded pilaster chimneypiece with a C19 cast-iron grate and a
pilastered elliptically headed alcove. Both front rooms have panelled
window shutters. In the back range there are thin ceiling joists and the
left hand gable end stack has a renewed granite lintel and in the rear
lateral stack a rebuilt fireplace with a C2O range.
The roof over the back range has reset lapped collars and principals and the
front range has a pegged softwood structure.
