Early C19 flush 6-panel door in simple moulded surround. In the left elevation of the entrance range, on the ground floor, is an C18 wrought-iron casement with leaded diamond panes of early handmade glass. The rear elevation of this extension is jettied, with one straight bracket of handsawn oak, jointed and pegged; softwood weatherboards above the jetty, mixed and plain boards below. The right elevation of the entrance range is faced with brickwork; on the ground floor is a mid-C18 sash of 6+6 lights with some crown glass, behind the brickwork, with a flat arch of gauged brick; on the first floor is an early C19 sash of 6+6 square panes, with a similar arch. The lower arch is broken, and the facade is parting from the wall behind; the brickwork continues round the rear right to the stack. The left side of the rear range is faced with similar brickwork, with a gabled dormer above. The right side is cement rendered with one early C19 casement of 6:6:6 lights, much crown glass and an original twisted wrought-iron stay; one wide plain boarded and ledged door. The roof of the rear right extension is of handmade red clay pantiles. Close studding with curved bracing trenched to the inside, and original wattle and daub infill. INTERIOR: the middle and right bays of the entrance range have chamfered axial beams with lamb's tongue stops, joists plastered to the soffits; boxed axial beams above the upper storey. 6 internal C18/early C19 2-panel pine doors; above the rear gound-floor door is a plain borrowed light of 4 rectangular panes of handmade glass. In the left bay is an C18 2-flight stair with moulded pine handrails and closed strings, and turned balusters, complete. In the right bay is an attached early C19 corner cupboard with semicircular arch, dentilled cornice, applied garlands on the frieze, and stars in the spandrels, and 2 profiled shelves. On the first floor are 2 closets retaining C18/early C19 hanging pegs.

No access to roof of entrance range; the roof of the rear range has been rebuilt in softwood, with a ridge-piece. This building retains many early and unusual features which do not usually survive, meriting special care.
