glazing bar sashes with crown glass. First-floor central and left hand
windows with fixed dummy sashes. Central door of 6 beaded flush panels with
margin-light and lozenge-pattern rectangular overlight and doorcase consisting
of panelled pilaster strips, frieze and cornice. Left-hand gable end of 2
bays with rendered blind ground-floor window to left and first-and second-
floor left-hand windows with fixed dummy sashes. Salop fire insurance plate

central glazed door. Rear of front range to south-west with first-and second-

straight joint to east) and is possibly a rebuilding of or on the sight of an
earlier timber framed range. A coin dated 1730 has been found in the roof
of the front range.
