The outer bays of the portico are blocked, each with one window range. The north front has 1:6:1 window range and the east front has 8 window range. All the windows are double-hung sashes with glazing bars. The centre part of the north front, of 4 window range and a central niche with figure, breaks forward slightly and is pedimented with a carved coat of arms in the tympanum, the outer windows are separated by pilasters. The doorway was added by Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1933-34, when he made some alterations and additions to the house. The interior has a fine C18 staircase.
