buildings), with parlour wing to rear. External rear lateral stack with brick
shaft heats lower end; axial stack backs on to former passage; end stacks to
both right-hand end and parlour wing, the latter external and stone with
weatherings for thatch. There is no evidence of smoke-blackening; 2 storeys.
Front: 4-window range, the upper windows of 2 lights, C19; 2 and 3-light windows
to ground floor; 2 entrances, that to the right with fielded panelled door.
Neither opposes the rear entrance to former passage, set immediately to the left
of the rear external stack. Rear elevation: four 2-light C19/20 timber casements
above; one 2, and one 3-light casements, all with glazing bars. Pentice roof
slated, supported by timber uprights, extends between stack and parlour wing. 2-
light windows to this wing, but none to end wall. Roof: 4 bays above higher end,
principals, morticed and side-pegged at apex and to collars, purlins (now gone)
formerly trenched. A C19 roof extends over the C16 roof; and also along the
entire lower-end and the adjacent barn. 2 principals (as above) to parlour wing.
All old timbers clean of smoke-blackening.
