Sash windows with flat gauged arches and 6/6 panes generally. Plinth, floorband and parapeted eaves. Brick pedimented wing projects on NE with stucco Ionic porch with columns and full entablature. E front has a shallow 2-storeys bow and a projecting chimney. 2 similar bows at E end of S (garden) front and a wider bow with Portland Stone Ionic order to ground floor, framing 3 French windows. Curved sash windows over have stone double keystones. Good panelled interior to library and drawing room (also Dutch tiles in Arts and Crafts fire surround).
