roof with stone ridge, copings and stacks. Hearth-passage plan
with barn at right, and left extension.

2 storeys, 6 bays in all. Boarded door under extended keyed lintel
in through-passage position. 2 inserted 6-panel doors in third and

external stone stair to loft door. Left part has two 16-pane
