the main range indicate that this third room had a lower roof than the main range.

rear, near to centre, containing a bathroom.

light ground floor window. Three 4-pane sashes on first floor. On the lower right
hand side the third room of the house has been reduced in height, partly built up in
concrete blocks and has a flat roof. On the right is a granite doorframe with
