copings, and stone, brick and rendered chimneys. South elevation 2 storeys, 3

a separate house, has 2 bays with irregular fenestration, including some
renewed windows with flat stone lintels; stone surround of first-floor left

visible. Western part has irregular rubble plinth; flat stone lintels and

massive stone chimney at left and brick ridge chimmey between second and third
bays of left part; massive rear chimney with offsets at right of east part.
C20 porch on right return gable. Short domestic extension behind. Interior:

with round head on west wall, now within building but formerly entrance; second
former entrance in east end of north wall has chamfered square head. Ceiling
