with stuccoed wings. Dressings of left-hand wing of artificial stone. Slate
roof. Central symmetrical block of 3 bays and 2½ storeys has end stacks and

plain stone surrounds. Central window over porch sashed with glazing bars in
plain stone surround. Attic windows have plain ashlar reveals and fixed

window with plain stone surround, a string course with blank Diocletian window
above and a cyma moulded coping to the pediment. Interior much altered in the
mid C20th, with re-used panelling in the left-hand wing and a stair with open
