with attics and windows are double hung sashes with small panes. Old lean-to

substantial timber framing. The posts are jowled and the ground floor timbers
are moulded and chamfered. Internal wall bracing and arch braces to tie beams,

arch headed fireplaces on the upper floors. 2 of the upper roofs have C17
panelled partitions with carved friezes. Small, later stair tower on the rear.
The short block, north of the crosswing, is basically C17, with a side purlin
wind braced roof much altered. Its ground floor front elevation has a pair of
large buttresses. RCHM 4.
