gablehead above 3 penultimate bays to left, with corbelled
timber oriel and decorative cusped barge boarding;
shaped gablehead above 3 bays off-centre to right, with
fleur-de-lys embossed and gablehead stacks. Piended
dormers above outer bays, and 2 decoratively gabled
dormers between gableheads. Louvred tower above

Barclay was commissioned by Miss Cranston in 1897 to

decoration was by George Walton, with details by Mackintosh
1904, mostly destroyed now.
