internal chimney-stack, which marks the division between the 2 cottages, with
2 diagonally-set square shafts linked by broaches to the rectangular base. 4
window range: old 3-light casement windows with pintle hinges, those on the
ground floor with transomes. 2 slightly recessed plank doors in plain

bays, has an exposed ceiling on the ground floor: joists unchamfered and set
flat, main beam deep and narrow. Part of the front wallplate has mortices for
earlier studding. This seems to be a fragment of an earlier building. Inside

cambered tie-beams,and some reused timbers. The light-weight roof has 2 rows
