an engine house to the rear. Very tall elevation towards farmyard; 2 large
openings to barn, both with flanking brick pilasters, and contemporary double doors
with strap hinges; between these is an oculus Ground floor (which occupies one-
third of the height of the elevation) with 3 elliptical arches, and 3 doorways with
their original planked doors, 2 with barred fanlights.
Rear: 2 wagon entrances oppose the 2 openings described above; a partially
dismantled engine house survives; with a corrugated iron roof.
