The rear wing added in the other angle of the stair-turret has inter alia in its outer wall an 8-light window with flush mullions and transoms and glazing bars, and a lean-to in the angle with the main range (formerly water tank). Two chimneys at the rear wall of the main range of this part, one on the ridge of the wing.
