wide doorway to left, late C20 glazing bars. Upper windows in original surrounds

wall rendered, the rear end wall with windows under cambered arches and a C19
doorway surround and planked door. Stone end stack to rear range. No 35 occupies
lean-to outshut behind no 37 with 3 original windows (One of 2 lights with stone
