window and one formerly existed in the west block. The west gable is part tile

shafts and stepped 'fins' on outer edge. To the rear a further 2 storey, gabled
peg tile roofed block, linked by a later infill to the front block, with an

space of link block is a mid C17 window, now enveloped in later building but
