similar but larger sashes on each floor to the right. Roof
ridge higher over 2nd unit; lateral chimney on ridge at
junction with barn to left, similar chimney at right-hand
gable, both with 2 pitched stone-slate caps to the flues.
Five-bay barn to left has square-headed doorway next to
junction, a small sashed window above and to the left of this,
a square-headed wagon doorway to the 2nd bay and a square
window to the left of this. Rear has some small windows,
including narrow stair-window.
INTERIOR: doorway opening directly into housepart, which has
one lateral beam and exposed joists; stone lateral partition

Thick stone partition wall to rear rooms (originally
