elevation added slightly later; circa 1770-80 2-storey piend

roofed drawing room wing added at S.W., fine rococo ceiling,

canted bay appears to be slightly later addition; circa 1785

matching N.W. dining room wing added, with 1-window

pedimented and quoined section between containing entrance

hall and staircase forming symmetrical W. front. Staircase

very plain, lit by ogee-capped lantern light, good ceiling

of late Adam type in dining room applied from moulds and

set square piend-roofed game larders flanking gate circa

1800, but chamfered archway of gate itself probably original

1680 work. Cross-corridor in court and poor stuccoed porch at

W. front unfortunate Victorian additions. Harled with margins throughout, coped chimneys, woodwork almost entirely 18th

century except in N. wing.
