A square late C19 2-storey sanitary tower with plat band is attached to the rear left-hand corner by an angled stem with a front entrance. INTERIOR: the ground-floor is divided by a transverse wall with a round arch through, 2 heated first-floor rooms, with a central dogleg stair. HISTORY: originally with 6 wards, a surgery, kitchen, and mortuary to rear, the rear tower is a characteristic mid C19 improvement.
