with an openwork timber superstructure support a gabled slate
roof with sprocketed eaves. The timber superstructure each
side is 3 bays of cusped arcading. Gables have tie beam
trusses with kingposts with curved braces and pierced
spandrels below the ties. Gable ends decorated with cusped
bargeboards with pierced decoration. Common rafter roof with
diagonal boarding behind the rafters. Pair of contemporary
openwork timber gates, complete with original hinges. Iron
verticals below the middle rail with fleur-de-lis finials and
cusped braces above.
