gables have moulded bargeboards and pendant finials. There are two C19
cellar windows and a ledged and battened cellar door.. The ground floor is

and a central ledged and battened door with a moulded architrave, once
approached by a flight of stone steps. On the first floor are two C19

There are shuttered square openings within the gables. Main entrance at rear

C17 windows in the rear elevation and also six original windows surviving at
the north-east end. Interior has some exposed ceiling beams, large fireplaces
