Description
Palladian style of 2 storeys and basement, with single-storey wings built behind original walls, which have a continuous balustrade, set back from the main elevation. The basement is rusticated stone, the upper storey of rubble stone (formerly stuccoed). The front faces E to the interior of the walled garden. In its basement is a blind arch of roughcast brick framing a coat of arms. A blind balustrade to the lower storey has open shaped balusters to the central window. The window has an eared architrave and a moulded cornice (partly missing), is boarded over but retains some small-pane glazing bars. The pedimented gable has a diamond tablet framing a roundel. In the R-hand wall is a blocked window in a stone architrave above the wing, the interior of which incorporates stone steps that were the original entrance.
The rear wall is roughcast, with coped gable on moulded kneelers and central brick stack. It has 2 basement windows, above which are single windows in both storeys but all window details are missing. The outer wing to the R has a single window, the wing to L a doorway.
