There is a similar two-window range to the left side. The side wall has carved brackets supporting a flat hood over a 19th-century six-panelled door (two glazed), and segmental arches above late 19th-century ground-floor sashes and 20th-century first-floor casements. The gabled roof has a gable end stack and adjoins a similar wing with a gable end stack to the rear right. There is also a similar 18th-century one-bay extension to the rear left. Inside, there are late 19th-century doors, except for three 18th-century two-panelled doors. The interior features chamfered beams throughout, with original joists visible in the front left room.
