to rear. Cast-iron gutters.
Interior: one original cruck in position of unusual type, having had a vertical tie
between the chamfered main tie and the curved collar with wind-braces to trenched planK
purlins. Main tie re-used above fire-bressumer to support later (C17?) inserted floor
with massive central cross-beam and joists, all stop-chamfered. Fireplace @ 11ft wide,
