mullioned casement to each floor with timber lintel; 5-light to

and further hoodmould to opening below, now blocked by lean-to.
Range to right of staircase wing has single ground floor C19
casement with hoodmould.
Interior: mostly indicates late C16 origin. Elizabethan dog-leg
staircase with polygonal finials to newels and splat balusters
rises to attic level. Room at south end appears to be addition,
possibly of 1660. Indications of former spiral staircase within
turret on east front. Said to have been house of William Archard,
clerk to John Smyth in about 1600, Smyth being surveyor to the
Lords of Berkeley. Dovecote stands to north-west (q.v.).
