Paired sashes to upper floors of cross wing, round-arched sash over porch with moulded cornice and round-arched doorway with pair of panelled doors and plain glazed fanlight; tripartite windows to next bay and with string becoming moulded hood on consoles to ground floor; similar detail to three closely grouped sashes of wing on right.
