sandstone blocks, stone slate roof with gable copings, restored ball finials

continuous sill, and at each end on each floor a similar but smaller window.
Both return walls show gable and joint line of original lower building; right
return wall has marks of former stone steps in the added wall, and a 2-light
flush mullion window at ground floor of old wall (with small panes of old
glass in lead cames); rear has 3 similar windows with 4-pane fixed glazing at
ground floor, 4 similar windows at 1st floor, the outer having been raised
within the jambs of lower original openings. Interior: raised desk with

since the early C19. In the guardianship of the Department of the
