classical villa style. 2 storeys; 3-bay front with central section
deeply recessed and flanked by giant canted brick pilasters facing
each other; angled and canted pilasters also to corners; windows all
4-paned sashes, those to ground floor round-headed and with fanlights
to top; continuous first floor cill band; central round-headed entrance
with fanlight like those to ground floor windows, 6-panel double door
with 4 upper panels glazed; central ashlar ridge stack with a blind
arcade of 5 round-headed arches (central one pierced through and with
a small pediment above), an important element of the design. Left-
