a single storey peg tile roofed and gabled block. The rear has two 2 storey
hipped roofed blocks and 2 lean-to outshots one with a pantile roof. There are
2 concertina brick stacks, one through the roof of the single storey east block
and one against the rear wall of the main range. The front has 4 double hung

joists and large post with 2 shaped knee-like braces. A timber at the north
west corner has a secret notched lap mortice. The east crosswing is late C16.
