Four-windowed facade, mostly C20 casements with glazing bars (respecting timber-framing). Moulded brackets below first floor windows to timber-framed part, one with carved lion's head. Double-chamfered stone-mullioned window with stopped hood, now partially obscured in stone gable at rear. Access now via C20 extension at rear. Stepped'gable end coping. Interior not inspected.
