Framed in closed studding with middle rail, and moulded bressumer over ground floor, and 2 intermediate rails in the upper section, with some cusped quatrefoil panelling in the 2 left-hand bays. None of the rails is continuous across the facade, possibly 2 phases of construction, perhaps left hand bays a later addition. Central 4-centred arched door, flanked by full-height canted bays with 3-light wood mullioned and transomed windows on each floor, added c1912. Axial stack marks the junction of the 2 possible phases of construction. Lower 2-storey addition to the left, and long wing to the right, largely brick but incorporating some timber-framed construction. INTERIOR: early C17 staircase with splat balusters and moulded rail. HISTORICAL NOTE: the house was originally built on Dogpole, and was moved to its present position c1702 by the Earl of Bradford, its original site being developed with what is now the Guildhall (qv).
