Double depth plan : 1 room wide cottage, left, with wide carriage entrance on the

wider kitchen/living room right with cross passage between leading probably to a
central stair between 2 rear service rooms. The cottage has probably parlour at the

and nearly symmetrical 3 window front of house, right. The cottage and house have
their original 16-pane hornless sashes. The cottage has smaller windows. The pebble

lintel and has 2 ledged doors, the left hand door wider. The house has doorway
