Description
Scale How, part of Charlotte Mason College, is an early 19th-century building. It features scored stucco with stone quoins and moulded eaves adorned with dentils. The building stands three storeys tall. The garden front includes a central panelled door topped with a round-arched fanlight and a broken pediment supported by fluted consoles. There is a porch with two Tuscan columns, a frieze, and a cornice. This porch is flanked by a verandah featuring intersecting lattice work, pilasters, and a cornice that extends around the side facades of the house. On the garden front, there are two Venetian windows on the ground floor and three sash windows on each upper floor, all with Gothic labels. At the rear, there is a single-storey pavilion that has a large bow window composed of three full-length windows divided by pilasters and topped with a cornice. Modern additions related to the college are not included in this description.
