stacks.
2 storeys, 5 bays, with a 4-bay return on Church Lane; central

pilastered; central panelled door in prostyle Corinthian porch
with swag ornament, entablature and cornice. All windows are
sashes with glazing bars in stone architraves; further left
pilastered doorway.
INTERIOR has much original detail with some careful C20
additions in C18 style; panelled internal shutters and
panelled doors in fluted architraves. Simple moulded plaster
ceiling cornices in principal rooms with some original
cast-iron fireplaces in fluted surrounds. Small dog-leg stair

On the OS map the Church Lane return is shown as Mulcaster
