room to the S of it (drawing room). To the E of this room a rear
service room, and to the E of the hall a staircase wing. W front
has a moulded brick floor-band and eaves band with 3 long, 6-
light, mullioned and transomed windows to each floor and 2 large
gables with linked gable parapets, circular recess in apex over
