window. A door to the left of the ground-floor window has plain reveals.
To the left of the porch is a block which appears to be C19th with C17th

inscribed: '1667 IT'. The porch gable has a cyma-moulded coping with
kneelers. Its right-hand return wall has a 3-light rebated and chamfered
1st floor window with hood. Above is an oval opening with cable-moulded
stone surround. The house has gable chimneys. Adjoining to the right are
farm buildings, their left-hand part now converted to form part of the
