tile roofs. An open porch, integral with the right hand bay,
contains a 4-panel door. 2-light casement to left. C20 3-light

throughout, 4-panel door in lean-to porch. Cross-wing flank wall
has 3 C18 3-light casements and one C20 casement. Interior: The

beams with tongue and jewel stops. They bear onto the inglenook
which has chamfered jambs, a chamfered cambered mantelbeam and
salt niches. Cross Range: Its unusual plan is not domestic in
form. The wide bay nearest the street is an addition. The
remainder is divided into 4 unequal bays, two narrow bays to the
front and 2 wider bays to the rear. The stack in the second
narrow bay is inserted. Everything above wall plate level,
including the tie beams, has been removed by C18 heightening.
Some lightly smoke-blackened rafters are incorporated in the
roof. Ground floor: The two rear bays form a single fine room.
The central posts are hollow-chamfered. Wide-chamfered beam;
centre-tenoned joists with housed soffits, stencilled with Tudor
roses. Shutter groove to end wall with central peg. The two
narrow bays were subdivided by stud partitions. To first floor
posts 2 and 4 (of the 4-bay section) are chamfered with
asymmetrical stops at feet).
