parapet with four shaped gables. Shaped east gable with panelled chimney
stack; central ridge stack. On the west gable of the main house, a C19

flanking doorway. Above, a large 4-light C19 staircase window with ovolo

corner an attached gardener's cottage: red brick with black glazed pantile

east gable; decorative bargeboards. Interior of main house retains some
good early C18 work, notably the plasterwork of the library ceiling and the
Drawing Room fireplace and dado panelling. Large gilded staircase lantern
acquired from Mentmore House.
