The latter has mutuled pediment and a mutuled eaves cornice extends around the range and breaks forward over the canted bays. Rusticated quoins to angles and centre break. Windows: glazing bar sashes in architrave surrounds, eased with keystones flanking centre and with spaced voussoir keys on canted bays. Central round headed French window doorway in surround of coupled Boric columns, entablature with bracketed broken segmented pediment with central cartouche. Angled north west wing with simplified but similar details to fenestration and quoins. To rear access angle of splayed wing is an Ionic column openpedimented porch, round headed window above in Gibbs surround. Interior richly decorated with early C18 style panelling, chimney-pieces and with columnar screen to hall. Door furnishings, cornices, mouldings etc all in keeping and of fine crafts- manship.
