The third opening on the first floor is blank and has a similarly moulded semi-circular stone surround with emphasised imposts and a keystone. The door opening is also in a bead-moulded stone surround and features a six-panelled door, with the top two panels glazed, and a moulded slab stone hood supported by cut stone brackets.
