On ground level of central range, 3 blocked wide entrances (probably former carriage entrances), with C20 glazed garage doors inserted. West projection with 3 hatches on upper level and 3 latticed casements and 2 stable doors to ground. Interior:of west projection retains original stables. Against the brick wall on north side of courtyard (not included) is a mounting block.
