arched entrance to the stable courtyard has a corbelled
cornice surmounted by a heavy masonry clock turret in turn
crowned by an octagonal lantern with an ogee cap rising out
of a pyramid, all with carved decoration, finials, urns etc.
Inside the courtyard are several arched carriage bays (some
blocked) and accommodation for horses and storage. Interior:
the house retains fine but fussy decoration using a mixture
of motifs to the entrance hall, stair hall and principal
rooms. Stone fireplace, plaster ceilings, timber panelling
and a grand staircase in a Jacobean style lit by a stained
glass window.
