quoins and other features (in Caen stone, from Odiham Priory). The south front
has a 2 -storeyed gabled porch with small coupled cusped lights above a pointed
arch and buttresses, with 2 steps and a plinth, while the sides have a slightly-
recessed lower wall containing a small light: the west side is a gable with
(uniquely in the house) a red brick wall having a pattern of curving joints with
flush stonework to openings, topped by an ashlar chimney stack with coupled
octagonal flues separated from a plain base by a projecting rounded moulding:
the east side is marked by a tall projecting stack, with irregular set-offs;
2 small ground-floor lancets and a single-storeyed projecting unit with a large
triangular-arched window. The long west elevation has a centrepiece of small
projection containing a group of 4 lancets above 4 mullion and transomed lights;
on each side irregular fenestration of 1, 2, and 3-light lancets, 2 groups on
the ground floor having cusped heads: the roof contains 2 gabled dormers at
different levels and without cheeks, tile faced, with 2 and 3 square wooden win-
dows, 3 stacks (2 with octagonal grouped flues). The east (rear) elevation has
a ground-floor outshot for most of its width (with 2 dormers lacking cheeks in
its roof), a gable, a massive projecting stack. The north elevation has 2
gables, one set back, with a varied window treatment and a painted doorway.
Most openings are chamfered, most windows have diagonal leaded lights; in some
places a red brick plinth is exposed.
