head and ashlar sill. Garden front (originally entrance front): three bays
symmetrically disposed. Central slightly-projecting bay with an ashlar

ashlar sills and flat arched heads of 3x4 panes. Three similar windows to
the first floor, though of less height. Pedimental gable to the centre
with moulded brick surround. Recessed and at right of this is a projecting
service wing with C20 metal-framed French windows to ground floor at left
