dart string course touching keystones of ground-floor entrances;

slightly-projecting entrance bays flanking centre: original sliding
doors set in rusticated semi-circular arches with cartouches to keys
and scrolled knees to rusticated pilasters framing 4-light first-
floor windows and second-floor lunettes with aprons and rising to
meet open pediments with swags to tympanae. Canted 2-storey bay to

window range with roughcast first-floor: semi-circular arched
doorway to right adjoining slightly-projecting bay with gablet and
