and attic. Stuccoed cornice and parapet with a centre pediment conceals 4

and narrow recessed wings which were added in the C18, the north wing having
one window bay, the south 2. Wide central doorcase and pilasters, projecting
cornice over, moulded architrave surround and door of 6 fielded panels. At
