Outer gables, that to left containing a full-height canted bay window and
to the right hand gable, a full height squared bay window with a 4-light
mullioned and transomed window to each floor. The gables themselves are coped
and corbelled out. Recessed between them, 2 central bays. To the left a high
mullioned and transomed window to the ground floor, and small light above and
to the right, a single storey flat roofed projection with 3-light mullioned
window, 4 centred arched doorway and recess. Above this a 4-light lattice-
paned mullioned window. Quoins and string courses throughout. Recessed to the
