chamfer. At the left a sashed window with no glazing bars and plain
reveals lights the stable loft. The door, between bays under a glazed
porch, has a Cl9 chamfered stone surround with a re-tooled Tudor-arched
lintel inscribed: '1615'. Chimneys to each side of house. The right-hand
gable wall has 2 double-chamfered cellar windows, partly blocked, of 2 and

hood. Inside, the house has 3 C17 panelled doors on the 1st floor and some
re-used C17 panelling on the ground floor. Inside the stable the top of a
blocked segmental-arched fireplace can be seen in the rear wall, below the
present ground level. Above on theist floor is a chamfered fireplace with
Tudor-arched head. The roof appears to have a Cl9 king-post truss.
