slope of the roof, the remainder plaintiled, with 4 courses of black-glazed
pantiles at the eaves. An internal chimney-stack, at the junction of the 2
ranges, with tall saw-tooth shafts on a square base, and another stack, of
Tudor brick with stepped sides, added to one side wall. Various windows,
mainly C20: small-paned casements , C20 doors. The interior of the main range
has good timbering, and shows signs of alterations from an open hall: an
