flight of 4 steps offset to the left. The arch is chamfered in
3 orders, and has a hoodmould which links at the apex to a
quatrefoil on the string-course, is flanked by trefoil-headed
lancets, and runs out to the left where it drops to meet the
coping of the left retaining wall of the steps; these short
walls have rectangular terminal piers with pitched coping, and
the wall to the left is enriched with trefoiled blind
arcading.
The bay to the left has 2 1/1 sashes at first floor with a
chamfered mullion with enriched head between them. Smaller but
similar sashes to the attic. One 1/1 sash above the doorway.
The gable-end of the wing to the right has a 2-storey canted
bay window with single and paired 1/1 sashes on each floor,
and a hipped roof.

similar ridge chimney to left. The left return wall has a
prominent canted bay window to the front bay, with polygonal
roof, a smaller rectangular bay window to the rear bay, and
