former inner room (when it was converted into a kitchen), 2 rear lateral stacks,
probably external originally, but now enclosed, heat Hall and lower end
respectively. All with brick shafts. 2 storeys.
Front: of 2 elements, a symmetrical 3-window range to the left and an assymetrical
2-window range to the right, both under the same roof-ridge level, but with a
slight difference in eaves level. The 3-window range with 16-pane hornless sashes
above; ground floor with 16 pane hornless sash window to either side of a central
panelled door with panelled reveals under porch with moulded canopy supported by

planked door under late-C19 or early-C20 slate hipped roofed porch on shaped
brackets.

to rear of stack, and 2 C19 3-light openings below.
Rear: 4-light ovolo-moulded stone casement window; three 2 and 3-light C19
casement windows and a tall pointed 2-light window with Y-tracery to stairwell.
The rear wing has a 3-light 1st floor window with deeply chamfered surround.
Interior: extreme right-hand room with 2 chamfered and stopped cross beams; the
room is dominated by a massive end fireplace with a great chamfered bressumer which
originally extended across the entire room; a dated ledge to the rear of this
reads 'FIB, 1712'; brick and side ovens. Fielded panel cupboard doors mark access
to a (now dismantled) staircase. Roof, all C19; the end stack is all cob above
the hearth; a blocked 3-light window (visible only internally) in the gable wall.
