porch to south-west; C19 kitchen wing at rear to north-east. 2 storeys.
Framing: closely-spaced uprights with middle rail and long straight
tension braces. Hall range jettied on 3 sides, probably underbuilt in
brick to south-west; cross-wing probably has underbuilt jetty to front
too. Central brick ridge stack (lower part with section of triangular
projection but top part rebuilt) and integral brick end stack to rear
wing. South-west front: ground-floor C19 three-light wooden casement
to right; 2-storey gabled porch off-centre to right has jettied first

and entrance with 6-panelled door within (lower 2 panels flush and top
panels glazed); short catslide roof over staircase outshut to left of

and small basement window; cross-wing to left with C19 two-light- wooden

floor room to right has chamfered cross-beamed ceiling with ogee stops,
chamfered dragon beams, and large plain joists; large open fireplace
with early C19 surround and cast iron range; chamfered beams in cross-

of the Williams estate. V.C.H., Vol. VIII, pp. 193-4.
