Decorative framing including herringbone pattern bracing and quatrefoil panels; closely spaced studs and long straight tension braces to the sides; king-post roof trusses. Ovolo-moulded mullion windows and casements with leaded panes. Contemporary annexe to the right on the same alignment as the hall range. Crenellated rainwater head to the left dated 1922.
