at the east side. Flint walls with fine galletting, some stone dressings of the
later period. Hipped slate roof (one gabled and one apse end) of different levels.
The south (garden) elevation is of two storeys five (irregularly-spaced) windows,
with a gabled projecting wing at the east side of one window: there is a verandah
with a slate roof resting on flint columns with fluted wood caps, and a pediment
projected slightly at the second bay. The upper windows are C19 casements, the

lower wing at the north side and a further lower extension which is part of the

flagged floor, continues from the south front, with coupled columns on the curve.
Ground-floor Gothic windows, with small Gothic casement above the wing, and C19
casements to the 1st floor of the apse. The north elevation is marked by a
single-storeyed projecting feature (once symmetrical) with a porchway, comprising
a pointed arch within slender octagonal turrets (with a high parapet and pointed
panel between), the recess of the porch having niches on each side and two
6-panelled doors set in at an obtuse angle; the walls of this block are of flint
with stuccoed flanking octagonal buttresses and a lancet window between them and
the porch. The remainder of the building, with its irregular late C19 extensions,
is of vernacular style.
