Felt-covered gable-ended roof with deep bracketed eaves, and with louvred ridge ventilators; octagonal cupola over centre with lead-clad dome, tall tapered finial and wrought-iron weathervane.

Originally symmetrical 8:3:8 bay east front, with thin applied framing and roughcast panels, glazed on right; shaped brackets to deep eaves; central gabled portico with moulded plaster tympanum ornamented with arabesque and strapwork decoration and with putti, and supported on thin moulded cast-iron columns with ornate pierced cast-iron spandrels. Lower flat-roof ranges at either end and at rear.
