plank doors to eaves height, separated by sections of rubble wall. The upper
half in two storeys, has one plank door and a second blocked opening and one
plank door with sidelight to chamfered wood lintol. The right, hipped return
end has a very early plank door set deep to a wood lintol in heavy frame to
wooden arched head, all in poor condition; this set at head of 6 stone and tile
steps. Back of this section is in 3 windows, including, top right, remains of a
2-light casement with wood mullion. Wide plank door to segmental head.
