6-panel door, the top panels glazed, both in round arches of the brick facade.
Continuous roof with gablet hips at both ends. Left return weatherboarded,

next bay, chamfered axial beam with lamb's tongue stops, plain joists of
vertical section. On the first floor of the left crosswing, chamfered wallplate

internal stack has been inserted in the left bay of the 2-bay hall, and
subsequently removed, later converted to 2 cottages, now combined.
