is an oculus and to left and right, at ground and first floor level, are 2-light
windows with stone flat-arched heads and C20 casements. Conical roof, topped by
small railed viewing platform and central chimney. Block to right probably an
addition, has a blocked door, now window, to left (porch removed) and 3-light
windows to right of ground floor and to first floor, all with segmental gauged
stone heads and C20 casements. End stack, then a low link to barn to right of

Kinematography Company (1913) was made at this site.
