3 storeys above a basement. To its right are 2 window bays,
the right-hand one treated as a gabled cross-wing with a
canted bay window on the ground floor. To its right is a
round-arched doorway to a terrace, reached by flight of stone
steps. To the left of the facade there are 2 adjacent one-bay

on 1st floor above a basement. Between the right-hand gable
and the main entrance there is one wide window bay. The
entrance porch has a basement doorway in its left-hand return
wall, but the main doorway is reached by a long flight of
stone steps between parapets with pyramid finials. The doorway
is moulded and Tudor-arched and has a datestone inscribed 'GDM

chimneys have round shafts on rectangular bases. To the left
(west) there are extensive late C20 extensions in keeping.

be by Gillows of Lancaster. The open-well stair has carved
newels and arcaded balusters. A right-hand rear room has a
wide segmental carved sandstone inglenook arch and a convex
carved fireplace. The room to the left of the entrance hall
includes a built-in oak sideboard, and an overmantel with
