bars only; and 5 similar windows above. The 2-window extension

junction and 2 windows on each floor, those at ground floor
slightly smaller and with stone lintels, but otherwise all
like those of the main range. Ridge chimney at the junction,
square corbelled chimneys at both ends, that to the left
corbelled from 1st floor and the other at the apex. Rear: main
range and its wing have random through-stones; small lean-to
