of both wings have been raised, probably c1902. Interior: the main C18 part
retains its limestone flags and its dog-leg staircase which has turned balusters
to the first floor and c1902 decorative openwork panels replacing the former
balustrading to the second floor [cf the staircase at Sunny Bank Cottage (qv)
and the gates and The Red House and flanking gateways (qv)]. (Newton, W G:
