Further square window to far L. Similar casements to 3 rubble gabled dormers to roof (boarded-up at time of inspection 1996). Boarded entrance to rear at L with further window at R. Small single-storey outshuts to sides, that to R semicircular and with small light to front, and that to L square with similar light to NW side and boarded entrance to NE.

Interior

Fireplaces to gable ends of large ground floor space, that to the E primary and that to the W later; stopped chamfered E ceiling beam and some joists, the remainder replaced.
