Entrance front: U-Plan court, 5-bay inner, N facing

cottage circa 1800. Wings belong partly to that period,

Garden front: 5-bay elevation with bowed return end bays
(latter originally single storey). 3 tall tripartite

verandah, arched with lattice decoration and tent roof;
3 1st floor windows with 6-pane sashes divided by narrow
dressing room (now bathroom) windows; 3 windows in each
storey to bows with tall 6-pane sashes.
Addition made to SE of E wing in 1939. In-filling of 1836
in the entrance court yard removed.
All windows sash and case with a variety of glazing

Statement of Interest

Proposals for additions 1805, which repeated the design

of the bow-ended garden range, from Sanders.

The house may incorporate an earlier (18th century) cottage.
