head and above this is a massive keystone and a sash window; above the entablature in the 2nd floor is a casement window in a segmental keystoned head. On each side of the centrepiece and in the 1st floor are 2 sash windows (mainly
original) in plain reveals with keystoned architraves and aprons to the moulded
cills; the ground floor windows however are without keystones and have shutters;
and those in the 2nd floor have segmental stone heads and wooden casement
