The front is flanked by stepped buttresses rising nearly the whole height of the elevation. Cornice and castellated parapet, first floor oriel window of six lights with mullions and transom. Second floor three two-light casements all with dripmoulds over. Verandah on the ground floor of wrought iron and two-light casements. Circular tower rising from the flat roof in the north-west angle, surmounted by a flagpole and a weathervane. The entrance is on the north side with enclosed porch with moulded four-centred arch doorway with dripmould. Chimneys with group of twisted shafts.
