Off-centre left is C20 porch covering good flush 6-panel door, and far left is C20 six-panel door to overlight under a 2-light window. This end bay is slightly stepped forward, and at an angle to the remainder. The left return, to No 1, has various openings, and a gabled wing. Back is 2+3 windows, all C20 casements and large French window, a large brick gable, and one dormer window. Interior of No 2 inspected; includes C16 moulded and stopped beam to through passage area, and a section of roofing with pegged A-frame to 2 chamfered and stopped purlins, and wind bracing.
