face, and in the gable wall are various late C18 windows; a large French
window to the ground floor, and sashes above, all with stressed stone architraves
and keystones. Wing to north is of 2 bays with a triple light sash window

mullioned window on inner side. Above, is a late Victorian 3-light window

A stretch of rubble wall with ashlar coping links the house with a C17
outbuilding. This is gable-on to street, banded coursed rubble with stone-

gable wall and paired lancets in the apex beneath cable-moulded round arch,
