(2) to the left of this, a lower, roughly contemporary 2-storey curved range with shallow hipped roof and axial stack, that occupies the angle towards Strand. (3) to the right of (2) a later 19th century, single-storeyed polygonal extension. All stacks with brick shafts including the axial and right-hand end stack of the 18th century house. This has rusticated quoins to the front and moulded gutter box throughout. Only three 12-pane hornless sash windows visible to the right, 2 to first floor, 1 to ground floor.
