of the Gentry" in pre-Victorian Ryde. Two storey and attic. Original
portion five windows. Coursed stone cut in imitation of bricks with
ashlar quoins and window dressings. The outer window bays project
slightly, giving the effect of wide pilasters, and contain roundheaded
windows on the ground floor. Stringcourse above each floor. Wide
overhanging eaves interrupted in the centre where the front wall is
carried up to form an attic storey containing one round-headed window
with dentilled cornice and pediment over this attic portion. Glazing
bars intact. In front of the centre portion is a tetrastyle Ionic
portico with dentilled pediment over. The garden front is faced with
ashlar but has a semi circular stuccoed portico (now glazed) of four
Ionic columns with cornice and iron railing over. Wings added on other
side of the original house to house parts of the School.
