at ground floor and 5 above, all vertical rectangular, have raised
architraves with moulded sills and small roll moulding to the jambs and
heads, that in centre of 1st floor blocked and the others with recent 6-pane
glazing, but formerly all cross-windows (marks of transoms visible in jambs);

Left return wall has coupled window at ground floor, single window above.
Rear has inter alia a central doorway with chamfered surround and ogee-shaped
lintel (of C17 character).

Interior: large C17 chimney stack with fireplaces unusually arranged at
right-angles to each other; in right-hand front room (housebody) a large
elliptical-arched stone fireplace with moulded surround, and to the right of
this a small saltcupboard with H-hinges; and in the rear kitchen a similar
fireplace with chamfered surround, incorporating in its left side a vaulted
bread oven, the rear of which protrudes into the right-hand end of the
housebody fireplace; extensive plank-and-muntin panelled partitions in
right-hand half and at 1st floor; opening out of this in rear of housebody, a
dog-legged staircase with splat balusters; chamfered beams.

Note: except for alterations to windows, an unusually complete survival of
its date. (Missing mullions and transoms of windows said to be loose in
garden and elsewhere.)
