the entire south front and continued around the right hand (east) return a
tented-roof verandah, supported on slender iron columns with vertical and
spiral timber battens for climbing plants; the verandahm roof is now

with a doorway with a moulded architrave, fielded and reeded panel reveals

to the left continues around this east entrance front to form a porch to this
doorway which has an iron balustrade and wide stone steps.

staircase with turned balusters and a wreathed handrail. Although the
interior was not inspected its original joinery is said to be intact as well
as most of the plaster mouldings. The original chimneypieces may also
survive.
