internal stack behind ridge in right bay. C18 2-bay extension to right with
internal stack at right end. C19 wing to rear left. Complex of C20 flat-roofed
2-storey and single-storey extensions to rear of main range. 2 storeys and
attic. 4 C20 casements on ground floor, 3 on first floor and one in attic
gable. C20 door in gabled porch, formed from formerly bracketed C19 canopy and
2 inserted posts, with fretted and pierced bargeboards of fleur-de-lis design
with carved finial and pendant. The C18 right range has a gambrel roof aligned

which are cambered. Chamfered joists of vertical section with lamb's tongue
stops, jointed to the binding beams with soffit tenons with diminished haunches.
Studs in right end mostly missing. 2 inserted posts in this wall, on the upper
storey, which are square at the base, chamfered to an octagonal section above,
with lamb's tongue stops, nailed in position, probably re-used from a G17 bed.
Clasped purlin roof, complete. The left truss is open, and indicates that
originally this range continued to the left, behind the right (service) bay of

of vertical section with lamb's tongue stops, possibly inserted, and plain
joists of vertical section. Wood-burning hearth at right, jambs of 0.23 metre
