whitewashed. Concrete tile roof with gabled and hipped ends. 3 rooms and cross-
passage plan. Stack at left hand lower gable end and large lateral stack at centre
rear with 2-stair turrets left and right. 2 storeys. 4-window range. Circa early

insertion. Interior: Roof largely replaced. Principals at lower end are visible in
first floor room. 2 stone newel stairs at rear. Screen at lower side of passage

octagonal, with large cushion-stops slightly keeled.
