Four small C19 casements in panels of framing and 2 of 3 lights to raking eaves dormers. Entrance to No. 13 in left gable end and to rear to No.12. Brown brick ridge stack at junction between timber framed part and C19 addition and external rubblestone end stack to right with brown brick top and lean-to to rear, probably incorporating bread oven.
