oak-framed cross-gabled roof, with date carved on beam, is the central
feature of the east range, a pedimented loading-door gable of the west
range, opposite, and a fleche ventilator and raked-roofed dormer of
the north range. The east and west ranges are of one storey with hay
lofts in the roofs, the north ange of l½ storeys with ornate patterns
of ventilators in the loft wall. A cartshed opening to the outer side
of the east range has an open front, the roof supported on 3 bracketed
oak posts. Small pane iron windows.
The fronts to the yard of the 3 ranges and the outer face of the east
range (all seen in relation to Aldford Hall (q.v.) which they
complement in massing, materials and detailing) are little altered.
