unusual trefoliated heads to 1st floor, ground floor has casements. Late C19
doorcase with flat hood and 5 panels and plain side lights. Early C19 wing is of
painted brick with gable and carved bargeboards. One 6-pane sash and Gothick

English bond brickwork with curved bargeboards. Left bide has similar carved

was added but retaining salt hole and space for a bread oven. Chamfered cross

Attic has side purlin and windbrace roof, old floor boards and smoke blackening in
