T-plan, the main block heated from 2 stacks on the ridge with a central front
projecting wing also heated from a ridge stack. 2 storeys. Symmetrical 1:2:1 front
elevation, the roof of the main block swept down to first floor level at the right
and left. The wing has a half-hipped roof to the front, the verges swept down to
first floor level. Large hipped dormers project to the left and right of the wing
and are slate-hung to the front. Front doors to the left and right in the angles
between the main block and the wing. Small rectangular windows under the eaves of
the main block to left and right. The wing has 2 ground floor 2-light casements and
two 3-light first floor casements in deep reveals, and 2 similar 2-light casements to
the left and right returns.
