graduated greenslate roof with brick chimney stacks. 2 storeys, 5 bays, with
contemporary single-bay wing to left rear and 2-bay barn to right of higher roof
line, forming overall L-shape. 2- and 3-light chamfered stone-mullioned windows
and smaller firewindows on both floors to right. 2 windows are C20 casements in
enlarged surrounds. Rear has replacement studded plank door in Tudor-style
surround under shaped lintel, dated and inscribed QVORSUM M.W. VIVERE MORI, MORI
