elliptical heads of gauged brick, and those at upper floor have cambered
heads. Small-pane sashes, at ground floor having sidelights. A pair of
panelled entrance doors; circular panels below, and glazed with small panes
above. Greek Doric portico with columns and flat entablature. At the sides

incorporating the Arms of Wentworth. Some interesting early C19 joinery
