The rear elevation has a plain first floor band, and a double dentillated eaves course and 6 sashes to first floor. Interior. The original plan probably consisted of a parlour to the road with added stair bay to the garden front: beyond were a hall, kitchen and sunken floored dairy in echelon. In the parlour may be seen chamfered girders and floor joists. Between the hall and kitchen is a massive H-plan stack: the kitchen joists are not moulded, otherwise all girders have delicate shield shaped stops. To first floor are moulded girders and joists to the parlour and hall chambers only. The roof is a clasped purlin with collars, pegged at the ridge with wattle and daub partitions in the roof space. Graffito: on the first floor, above the main doorway, the wall plaster is inscribed 'Joseph Hooton 1695': he was a builder from Marton. Listing NGR: SK8326874074
