at right angles to rear. 2 rooms at the front: wider parlour/living room left and
parlour right; cross passage between leading to central rear stair hall; shallower
rooms at either side of the stair and passage behind the left hand room with a single
storey porch with probably pantry projecting from the left hand- side of the back door
to this passage. Later C19 lean-to at right hand side of house and C20 conservatory

complete and original.
There was an older house on this site which was destroyed by fire in the C19. The
gate piers qv. probably belonged to the older house.
