Right bay has a windbreak porch set to left and a window opening to right without cill. Porch has a flat cement roof with a door opening to front face; right and left cheeks are blank.

Historical information
Although a building is shown at this spot on the 1835 OS map, it does not share the ground plan of the present one. It is probably of mid 19th century date as it is shown on the 1862 map and its rateable valuation (10 shillings) does not change thereafter.
