Right-hand ground-floor room with early C19 marble fire- place surround. The rear range incorporates reused timber framing in internal cross walls. The rear range appears to be a slightly later addition (see straight joint to east) and is possibly a rebuilding of or on the sight of an earlier timber framed range. A coin dated 1730 has been found in the roof of the front range.
