faced in roughcast with some flush quoins, stone slate roof with
hipped east end and hipped angle wing. Very large stone stacks,
originally as 2 lateral stacks now flanking hipped projection, with
3 and 2 diagonally set dressed stone flues with moulded cornice,
and with central large square ridge stack on east wing, dated 1712
on oval plaque, with 4 diagonally set ashlar flues with moulded
cornices. Originally probably single range with rear wing added

Both ranges have continuous dripmoulds to ground and first floors.
West range has C20 sash windows throughout, with 2 original 2-light
stone mullions at basement level and semi-circular carved doorcase

main elevations with several restored or inserted in C20. South

ovolo moulds. On north facade, central doorcase in stone with
open pediment on carved brackets, with C20 door and oak panelled
lobby inside. Angle section has 2 and 3-light ovolo stone
mullions. Interior not accessible but likely to be of interest.
