The east gable has a 4-light ovolo-moulded cross casement to the first floor and further, renewed, 2- and 4-light cross casements illuminate the hipped 2-storey block abutting to the south. This block is the east block to the 1603 courtyard and has on its courtyard side a 6-light ovolo-moulded cross casement with a central king mullion on the first floor. On the interior the king mullion has a tapering baluster with fish-scale carving and a stylised Ionic capital. The east window is similar, but of 4 lights. INTERIOR: integral with Nos 1, 2 & 2B (qv). The passage from the front door has been removed. The staircase is mid C18: open string, turned balusters and scrolled tread ends. Ramped and wreathed handrail.
