window above and to the left, a blocked window to the right
and a taller opening blocked with brick above this (possibly a
doorway), both with slate dripbands over. The rear gable has a
large external chimney stack in the centre, with 2 slate bands
and a cornice at the top, flanked by 12-pane sashed windows at
ground floor, slightly smaller 18-pane hornless sashes with
exposed boxes at 1st floor and small 4-pane fixed windows to
the attic, all these windows with slate dripbands over.
INTERIOR: 1st floor has front room with muntin-and-rail
panelled partitioning off axis to the west, and forming its
rear wall, and mixed panelling on the east wall. Attic has 3

apex to a short pendent strut (or yoke) carrying a
diagonally-set ridge purlin.
