canted open loggia on north bide. Gothick Revival style. Single storey. South front
has two ogival windows with sashes missing, flanking former loggia which had
clustered columns and has stone steps to front; fragments of moulded cornicing.
Interior: not inspected; loggia has fragment of ornate plaster frieze set above
moulded door architrave. One of a group of parkland buildings and structures, one
