classical door surround with fluted pilasters at either side and a
classical entablature with a convex frieze. Door of 6 raised and fielded

which has French windows of 4 lights at ground floor level and a tripartite
first floor window with central sash of 4x4 panes and lateral lights of 2x4
panes. Recessed at right of this is a rear wing with a tripartite ground
floor window with a central window of 3x4 panes and lateral lights of 2x4

wing which has a 5-light ground floor window with horned sashes and picture
window to the first floor at either side of which are horned sashes. Rear:
projecting gabled wing at left, with random fenestration largely masked by
later additions.
