roof. 3 storeys. 4-bay near-symmetrical facade. Entrance to right of bay 3

To left two 6-light mullioned and transomed windows to ground and 1st floors
with 2-light windows to 2nd floor, and a bay of single-light windows (with
transoms to ground and 1st floor). Most windows are now much altered with
mullions and transoms removed and later casements, though some chamfered
surrounds survive and the 2nd-storey windows remain intact. Weathered string
courses between floors. Chamfered gable copings on cut kneelers. Later central
stack. Rear: addition to left having 3 bays, the central one of single lights,
the side bays of 3-light windows to ground and lst floors and 2-light windows
to attic. All windows are double-chamfered, some blocked, some part-blocked.
Ground and lst-floor windows have dripmoulds. Chamfered gable copings on cut
kneelers. The left return has an external stone stair leading to a narrow
attic doorway with chamfered surround and a small 2-light overlight with small
dripmould.

Interior: the roof is supported on raised trusses, possibly designed that way
rather than heightened.
