mullioned windows now lacking the mullions. The 1st (south)
bay has a small chamfered 1-light window to the left and a

half-dormer, and an iron inn sign bracket. Ridge chimney at

Rear: sun lounge added to 1st bay.
INTERIOR: remodelled in early C20 by insertion of partition
wall at lower end of former housepart and southward extension

(that to north formerly a firehood bressumer) and a 3rd to
south of partition wall with mortices of former panelled
partition to formerly smaller parlour; spiral stone staircase
