rougher and the structure appears older. Two storey 6 window front. Now
red tile roof. Moulded cornice with brackets. Main doorway of stone has
half-round Tuscan pilasters, entablature with triglyphs and paterae and
pediment. On left hand is second doorway with semi-circular head with
carved stone head built into wall above it. Sash windows in flush frames;
glazing bars intact. Inside, C18 panelling and fireplace surround. See
R C H M Dorset Vol I p 220 for details.
