and 4-light ovolo-moulded stone-mullioned windows with stopped labels. Central door opening in an edge-roll moulded
stone surround, studded plank door, C20 gabled hood on wooden brackets. Right return with blocked 4-light
stone-mullion and transom window, ovolo moulded, stopped label above continuing each side as a string, blank
ovolo-moulded 2-light mullioned attic light above. Wing to rear of lower height, similarly moulded 2 and 3-light stone
mullioned windows, some with stopped labels, plank door. Salient feature is the fine wagon-shaped plaster ceiling above
the right 2 rooms on the first floor of the front house; flat moulded and ornamental ribbing, an elaborate central
