concealed by parapets. North front of two storeys, four windows. C18 red brick,
formerly painted. Cornice band and lst floor band. lst floor sash windows with
glazing bars in wood lined reveals; ground floor long replaced sashes. All other
facades covered in C20 roughcast and mock half-timbering. Western entrance has
one-storey recessed porch. Some windows late C18 or early C19 sashes with glazing
bars. Inside at the south end some original timber framing, including heavy
chamfered beams with joiners' marks, and chamfered joists. Good C18 staircase
with 3 different balusters to a tread, carved tread ends and ramped handrail.
One fine panelled room with ornamental cornice and chimney piece. Other panelling

either by a copyist or badly painted over.
