with roof of banded shaped tiles. L-shaped, of 1 storey with lofts in
roof; hipped gables and a hipped dormer in corner; 2 chimneys, each
with a single square flue. Weathercock at right end and clock in
right gable. Two arched carriage doorways in right wing; other
doorways have shouldered lintels - one in left wing is under an open
