These fragments were re-sited in 1921 after the house was demolished. The portico features an Ionic design, with paired curved flights of steps leading up to a segmental-arched tripartite doorway that includes a fanlight. Additionally, there are parts of the flanking walling. The portico is enclosed by an iron fence.
