later range on left. Brick axial and side lateral stacks.

plan with a second entrance leading into a passage on the right and a principal room
to front left, heated by a side lateral stack, with a further room beyond to rear.

earlier right hand range has a central timber and rendered porch with flat roof and
C19 panelled door within. Two C19 12-pane sashes on ground floor and three above
