garden wall, rubble with buttresses at bay intervals on the building side, and brick
at the rear. Over each buttress is a ball finial.
Long rectangular 6-bay plan, the north front originally open and carried on granite
posts; later converted to shippon and more piers inserted along the front, some to
form doorways, the others with part rubble infill between and ventilators over.
The front is unaltered since circa the mid C19 and has the original diagonally set
