Jowled posts, heavy studding with 'Suffolk' bracing trenched to the outside. Chamfered binding beam with step stops. Plain joists of horizontal section jointed to it with soffit tenons with diminished haunches. 2 blocked unglazed windows, each complete with 3 diamond mullions, in upper storey of rear wall.
