hand gable with tiled set back to brick shaft and external lateral

double-chamfered mullioned stone windows and 2-light attic windows,
that to left minus mullion but with Shrewsbury arms in roundel above.
Small blocked double-chamfered window in right-hand return of wing;
centre has first-floor window with moulded cornice and two ground-
floor c.1700 two-light windows with flat-faced mullions, that to right
with pulvinated frieze and moulded cornice. Probably c.1700 one-storey
dressed sandstone porch to right with moulded plinth and cornice, and
flat roof, replacing former mono pitch; C19 Tudor-arched nail-studded
boarded door with bolection-moulded surround and pulvinated frieze,
and small double-chamfered stone window in left-hand return front.

corner fireplace with chamfered lintel, carved frieze and C18 raised
and fielded panelled overmantel, the centre panel with a shaped top,
and chamfered ceiling beam with plain and ogee stops. Right-hand
ground-floor room has fireplace with chamfered dressed sandstone reveals
and chamfered wooden lintel with mason's mitre. Ogee-stopped chamfered
cross-beamed ceiling also with chamfered joists. Left-hand first-
floor room with corner fireplace. Timber-framed cross walls; left-
hand wing has collar and tie-beam trusses with queen struts and v-struts.
Gable end of right-hand wing is timber framed with square panels, angle
braces, and cambered tie-beam truss with queen struts and v-struts.
The right-hand gable formerly projected with a timber framed wing.
This probably explains its unfinished look and the large external stack.
