The 1st floor above, although rendered, appears to be 1 long bay of close-studded timber framing. On rear a 3-light casement above 1 storey extension with plain tile roof and end stack. 3-light centre- opening casement with shutters. To rear of this extension a similar further outhouse extension with 1-light.
