left-hand one over a blocked opening, the right-hand one over a 2-light
ovolo-moulded mullioned window. The attic has one window with
ovolo-moulded timber surround, and another blocked window. The south wall
of the south wing is of 2 bays and has modern windows with plain stone
surrounds, except at the left on the ground floor where there is a small
high opening with plain reveals. The north wall of this wing has a ground-
floor window with timber lintel and ovolo-moulded wooden surround. On the
1st floor is a 3-light window with ovolo-moulded wooden mullions.
