Multiple brick ridge stack to left (west) end of left-central bay. Small hipped two-light dormer towards centre. Irregular fenestration of 3 three-light casements; one to left end, one towards centre, and one to right.

Bevelled joists, of smaller scantling than in left end bay, tenoned to axial beam. Cross beam to right end of right-central bay morticed for relatively light- weight partition. Right end bay ceiled, with off-centre (later?) axial beam. Gunstock-jowled principal posts, except central pair which are un- jowled, unmorticed and without tie-beam. Tie-beam above left-central ground- floor cross-beam has no principal posts, but has stud partition under it, with tension braces. Clasped-purlin roof with diminishing principal rafters, windbraces, and vertical queen struts to collars. Three-light diamond mullion first-floor rear window to right end of right-central bay, and mortices for similar four-light ground-floor rear window adjoining right side of central principal post.
