Through-passage to left of main range has chamfered 4-centred arch with dripstone and plank door with internal strap hinges to front and smaller segmental-arched doorway opposing to rear. Four 2-light chamfered segmental-arched mullion windows with hollow spandrels and dripstones, one to left and 3 to right of doorway, left with leaded latticed lights and 2 to centre with cast-iron glazing bars. Formerly a wide inserted entrance to left of right window but this removed and wall rebuilt at time of resurvey. Gabled leaded dormer in roof slope to rear and truncated bread oven to back wall. Interior. Straight-flight staircase behind doorway has half-closed string to bottom.
