The rear wall of the original gable ended wing has 2 circa late C18 - early C19 windows with horizontal glazing bars; the left hand one (ground floor) is a 2-light casement; the right hand one (mid floor, probably for stair) is wider with 3-light casement.

An interesting 3-room T-plan farmhouse, essentially unaltered at the rear.
