along the ridge. 2 storeys, irregular fenestration. Ground floor has 2
3-light casements with leaded-lights. Above are 4 4-light casements with
Leaded-lights, that to the left probably being of the early C18 and retaining
its original glass. Small chamfered stone loop above the doorway. The
doorway is towards the left of the range, is blocked, and retains a heavy
