ashlar, snecked, and polygonal. Bath stone dressings; finials, kneelers, smooth
flush bands, double-chamfered mullions and transoms, plinth. Steep tile roof,
hipped dormers; prominent stacks. South elevation of symmetrical form, with gabled
projections at each side and central two-storeyed porch with a parapet; two storeys
and attic, 1.1.1.1.1 windows. The windows are two, four and five mullioned lights,
and four and five mullioned and transomed lights. Tudor arched doorway beneath a
moulded canopy on brackets, extended at each side above small windows. The east
range has three gables of unequal width, two above slight projections and that at
the south side associated with a massive stepped stack; again, the standard form of
each window is presented to two, three, four and seven-light mullions, with two,
six and seven mullions with transoms. The short west range has windows grouped
within an angled bay with a window on each side, all beneath a deep parapet. The
north side of the building forms an angle around the entrance forecourt: a projec-

frame: a deep recess has a mullioned and transomed staircase window of twenty
lights: the north side has a circular turret (staircase) with a conical roof and
descending lancet windows. The north end of the block has three single-storeyed
service wings, of varied form but still with stone walls, hipped tile roofs, and
mullioned windows.
