House. East wing dated 'TF1-92' in iron letters on north gable end, the

and enlarged in the mid and late C19. Red brick, the roof mainly plaintiled.
2 storeys and attics. At the front the east wing extends forward of the main
part of the house: 3 cross windows with diamond-leaded glass, some windows
evidently original; first floor brick band, moulded brick eaves cornice; Dutch
gable ends with brick bands. Internal stack with 4 mid or late C19 flues with
moulded brick shafts. The main block has a 7-bay symmetrical facade

under flat brick arches with hood moulds; cross windows at attic level; mid
C20 glazed entrance door. 3 Dutch gables over side and centre bays. Various
tall stacks in Tudor style. There are 3 Dutch-gabled wings at the rear.
Attached to the north of the east wing is a C18 stable block with hipped roof,

Strickland, author of 'Lives of the Queens of England'.
