light with flush mullions (all blocked). Stone coping to left gable and
brick chimneys on both. Rear: a 2-light firewindow (opposite the front

light to the staircase bay, and a 4-light parlour window altered to make a
door in the left half; at 1st floor a round-headed light above the

at the front: all these with hoodmoulds; 3 attic windows like those at the
front; and a cut down chimney at the parlour corner. South gable wall has
one round-headed single light at ground floor and 2 in attic. Modern
single-storey addition at north end not included in the item. Interior:

ovolo-moulded beams; parlour has one similar; service room has chamfered
beam; 1st floor has similar; attic has axial and 2 lateral partitions to
eaves level, of post and rail with wattle-and-daub panelling, making

and very localised type on this plan: others are Cliff and Warth farmhouse
in this parish, and Marsh Farmhouse, Brindle CP (q.v.).
