across the upper front, all sashes with a single vertical
glazing-bar in segmental-arched openings, including single
windows in the wings flanked by small additional casements.
On the ground storey, the wings have square projecting bays
with sloping slate roofs and 3-light windows of
mullion-and-transom type with small side lights. The centre
