casement window over a C19 low-pitched, gabled open porch with
small-pane flanks and entrance with reeded pilasters and door
of 6 panes over 2 flush panels.
East elevation has one 16-pane sash and a lean-to bay-like

and long slate lean-to pentice on painted timber brackets.
The garden (south) elevation has 3 small-paned sash windows

hipped slate roofs, and an original central small-paned sash.
Either side are curved service blocks forming convex abutments
to the house and these have lean-to sloping slate roofs and
small rectangular small-paned windows and short stack on west
block. The north concave curved faces have simple door and
window openings.
INTERIOR: very complete with cantilevered dogleg staircase
with wreathed handrail, shaped tread ends and stick balusters.
The interior walls of the entrance hall have curved corners
and all doors have richly moulded architraves. The east and

marble fireplace. The central garden-front windows have
vertical-sliding internal shutters. A 2-light casement window
provides borrowed light between stair well and 1st-floor
