Flat-roofed dormer in middle of roof slope to left. Prominent external end stack to left partly concealing tie beam with carved decoration; lean-to to bottom probably houses bread oven. Integral end stacks to right and to rear range. Interior. Ground-floor front rooms have deep-chamfered spine beams. Timber framed spine wall (square panels) to first floor of main range.
