all stone cross windows with hoodmoulds except 2 ground floor
sashes to right with plain keyed architraves. Two cellar 2-light
chamfered mullioned casements below sashes in stone plinth. C20
hipped roofed porch left of centre; gabled C19 roof dormers at

Interior: open well staircase with splat balusters appears altered

early C18 building was attached.
