All the sashes have C20 external secondary glazing. Access to the house now by way of C19 single-storeyed extension to the left. Rear (S.garden) elevation: central panelled door in C20 porch. 3 2-light casement windows and one blocked door.1st floor: 3 light casement windows, one single-light window and a tiny single-light window that may be the original stair light. All windows have timber lintels. Interior: several axial ceiling beams, chamfered, and some with unusual spur shaped stops.
