and tie beam truss with projecting single-purlin ends to right gable end.
Irregular fenestration; 2 late C19 casements directly below eaves to hall
range with 2 asymmetrically placed segmental-headed early C20 casements to
ground floor; vertical rectangular casement to left of C20 gabled timber porch
which has inscription "HOME" to lintel and inner 6-panel double doors (upper

C20 red brick ridge stack immediately to right of porch to hall range and
similar external end stack to right. External lateral stack with dentilled
band to top to left of cross-wing and large stepped external end stack to

panels. Chamfered ceiling beams and heavy joists throughout ground floor.
Hall range has collar and tie beam roof in 2 1/2 bays with jowled wall posts
straight windbraces and mortices for braces from wall posts to tie beams,
