the outer higher side. The main range was also extended by 1 narrow room at the
higher end. On the rear, a courtyard is formed by the inner angle of the 2 ranges
and garage and outbuilding adjoining the lower end of a barn directly to the north
west (qv). A stone rubble wall encloses the fourth side.
