Mansion, built 1866 for James Lund, now a school with later additions. Ashlar with slate roof. Two storeys with a taller belvedere, irregularly composed into 12 bays on the entrance facade (1:3:1:3:1:3) which has a porte cochere. The south facade has 7 bays of which the last breaks forward. The detail is Italianate: pilaster strips at angles, rusticated below and panelled above, carry an entablature and a pierced arcaded parapet. The windows are mostly of 2-lights with cornices on consoles, round-headed to first floor but segmental below. The skyline is enlivened with urns and the belvedere tower, which is roughly central and has similar detail. Later additions include a War Memorial chapel with stained glass windows by John Piper.
