Additional doorway into left hand room with a wide C19 plank door and a wide, open porch with a hipped slate roof. Windows a mixture of C20 timber casements with glazing bars or square leaded panes. The tiled roof is carried down as a catslide to the outshut. Interior: The 2 right hand rooms have chamfered crossbeams with good mid/late C17 scroll nick stops. The left hand room has a plain axial beam. Several C18 2-panel doors indicate refurbishment at this date. Roof: The main trusses are probably C18 or C19, the rafters replaced in the C20 when the thatch was replaced with tile.
