glazing bar sashes with crown glass. First-floor central and left hand

margin-light and lozenge-pattern rectangular overlight and doorcase consisting
of panelled pilaster strips, frieze and cornice. Left-hand gable end of 2

earlier timber framed range. A coin dated 1730 has been found in the roof
of the front range.
