Garage door to left. Casements to both returns. External bake oven to right. Rear wing much patched, some brick. INTERIOR: solid masonry full-height partition walls to either side of passage. Right room has one chamfered and stopped ceiling beam and C20 fireplace that retains bakeoven. Left-hand room fireplace (backing onto through-passage) also has bakeoven, otherwise much altered.
