remainder of 2 storeys. SE elevation. The SW crosswing is jettied, the wall
below the jetty clad in red brick with an oriel window of 7 fixed lights and
one wrought iron casement, ovolo moulded, early C17, and on the first floor
a similar window, restored, flush with the wall. 3 leaded casement windows,
C20, porch with glazed 4-panel door and carved bargeboards with trefoil
piercings anda group of 3 Gothick windows with 4-centred arched heads, leaded

SW crosswing is a restored original window, early C17 with 2 ovolo-moulded

exposed joists of horizontal section. The inserted floor in the hall consists
of an axial beam, plain-chamfered with lamb's tongue stops, and exposed joists
of deep section supported on clamps, originally plastered to the soffits. In
the C19 this house became a lodge to Pettits Hall, and much of the treatment
of the SE elevation dates from this phase.
