upper floors; on the first floor an ashlar apron with raised
panels below the windows; at the angles of the projecting end
bays above the apron raised stone quoins rise to the stone
crowning entablature with dentil cornice at attic-floor level;
a false parapet above the cornice supports the attic gables.
On the ground floor C20 metal framed doorways with plain

frames with entablatures crowned by segmental pediments on the
projecting bays and triangular pediments on the inner bays; on
the second floor similar fenestration, except that windows in
the inner bays are single lights with transoms, all with
moulded stone sills on brackets; in the central gable a
three-light mullion and transom window in an architrave frame
