1st floor window at centre with tablet over; windows to
both floors in flanking bays.
Blank end elevations with wallhead stacks.
12-pane glazing pattern to sash and case windows. Grey
slates to piend roof. Some original chimney cans
retained.
RETAINING WALLS: low rubble walls with ashlar coping and
wrought-iron railings to front garden; decorative
wrought-iron gate bearing name "St Mary's". Coped
rubble garden wall on higher ground to S.

Statement of Interest

Former internal door linking with Wayside (to W) is currently

(1989) blocked. A large, early barn sited to E, may fall

within the policies of St Mary's, and almost certainly did

so originally: it is listed separately.
