sashes in moulded architraves to first floor with plat band over
lintels. Centre two bays flanked by giant Composite pilasters
carried up to dentilled brick cornice and pediment with oval window
in bayleaf surround. Right return has 12-pane sashes. Attached to

Interior not accessible at time of survey (March 1986), but said to
have central hall with Tuscan scagliola columns, bolection-moulded
fireplace and stairs with wrought iron balustrade. Drawing room
with apsed alcove flanked by Ionic columns, modillioned ceiling
cornices. It is probable that some of the interior was remodelled
by Cecil Beaton who spent the last years of his life here and died
