Jowled posts, primary straight bracing in studded walls. The right bay of the
main range has a chamfered axial beam with a lamb's tongue stop on one side, a
similar stop with a notch on the other side of the same end. The other beam,
projecting at the front and inserted at the bay post, is chamfered with lamb's
tongue stops. Plain joists of vertical section, sand-blasted. Clasped purlin
roof. In the left wing the beam projecting through the front wall is chamfered
with lamb's tongue and notch stops. Plain joists, the original ones of square
section, some replaced by later joists of vertical section. Inserted window in
left return, blocked by no. 19. Clasped purlin roof, one collar visible

Both the main range and the left wing were originally of one storey, the floors
inserted soon after the initial construction. It is possible that one or both
