volcanic stone rubble to ground floor, brick to first; brick stacks; single Roman
clay roof tiles on low pitch roof, hipped at each end. 2-storey, 5-room plan
facing south-west. Gable end brick stack projecting to left (north-west) and axial
brick stack right of centre. Recessed porches to rooms right and left of centre
with central timber posts and timber lintels replaced with concrete circa 1980. 5
window front, the 5th window apparently missing first floor right. Formerly
doorways in both recesses but that in right side of recess now replaced by window.
4-centred arch. 2-light windows with iron casement and original leaded diamond
