wing, slate mansard roof with ashlar slacks to right of centre
and rear wing. Double-depth plan with late C19 rear wing.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys with attics and basement; 4-window range.
Coped gable ends and parapet, platband and plinth. The
original pedimented Tuscan doorcase, now a window, was to the
left of centre. It is flanked on the ground floor by
tripartite windows set in semi-elliptical recesses with
roundels to the keystones, now with late C19 plate-glass
sashes. Above the door a semicircular-arched 6/6-pane sash
window is flanked by similar Venetian windows with another to
the far right over a wide semicircular-arched carriage
entrance (now the door). The arch has roll-edge moulding to
the intrados and Regency-style iron gates probably C20. Hipped
dormers with 2-light casement windows over the Venetian
windows, single-light over the original door.
INTERIOR: the right-hand ground-floor room between the
original entrance and the carriage entrance, possibly a former
dining room, has a high skirting board; an elaborate cornice;
a recess to the rear, probably for a sideboard, flanked by
Corinthian columns; and reeded moulding to entrance hall, now
part of the room, has a cornice stopped behind a shallow
panelled arch on corbels to the former stairwell.
