quoins. Slate roofs; gable ends to main range, gable end to rear wing and hipped end

stacks, kitchen to rear right on north east and dairy to rear left on north west.
Exterior: 1828 range has a symmetrical 3 window south front with sashes replaced in

ground floor with central part glazed C19 6-panel door. Three 16-pane sashes above.
Datestone to right of centre 'RD 1828'. Lean-to outshot on right hand gable end.
