some cambered openings. Tile roof, three flat-roofed dormers. East front
elevation of two storeys and attic, four windows. Sashes in exposed frames.
Doorway with a pediment canopy on carved brackets, architrave and 5-panelled
door. An C18 rear wing at the north side has a 1st floor Venetian sash window,
and there is a small Venetian casement window above it: the former rear wall
between the wings has a Venetian staircase window, partly masked by a conserv-
atory. Inside, most of the features are late C18, including a staircase and
corner cupboard. The site has revealed several stone architectural details
including a square column with cap and base. (thought to be Saxon because a
Saxon minster church existed in the vicinity).
