C19 casement windows with timber lintels, and 3 raised and gabled dormers with casement windows on each side, one at the NE end of the NW side added in the later C20. The SE elevation has larger windows and lean-to conservatory. Wall partially battered. Entrance now through lean-to to door at side of the gable stack.
Interior

Timber-framed partition built into pair of raised crucks, which have half-dovetails for the tie and collar beams, both now removed. Vertically abutted apex notched for diagonally set ridge.
