Attached to the south east of this L-shape is a Victorian structure,making an interior courtyard, now enclosed on its south east side by a modern chapel. The north east front is a symmetrical 3-storeyed facade of 5:3:5 windows. Walling is in red brick (Flemish bond) with a plain stone coping to a parapet, a moulded stone cornice which breaks into a pediment above the slightly-projecting centrepiece, with an oval cartouche. Projecting brick bands at 1st and 2nd floors, a plinth, flat rubbed arches and stone cills. Sash windows, some with exposed frames, others in reveals: the 3rd and 4th on the north side (lst floor) are French windows leading on to a stone balcony on 4 brackets and with wrought iron rails. The second bay from each end comprises a stone niche on the 1st and 2nd floors, the lower containing a carved stone female figure and the upper an urn. Seven carved urns surmount the parapet. The central doorway (late C18) is in a fine white stone and has an architrave (surrounding double doors), pilasters and a pediment in a Tuscan order. The north west front is asymmetrical, with a 2 storeyed 'centrepiece' of 3 windows, projecting slightly, having a pediment containing a carved stone coat of arms, full mouldings and moulded stone cornices above the ground floor windows. To the north the 3-storeyed design has 1:3:1 windows: to the south the 2-storeyed arrangement continues from the centre with 3:1 windows. Walling is red brick, with a projecting 1st floor band at the centre and to the south, rubbed flat arches, stone cills, plinth, and decorative stone cheeks to two sets of 3 steps, giving access to French windows at the centrepiece and in the centre of the northern half. The southern flank of this front has 2:3 storeys with 1:1:2 windows. The eastern flank of the north east front is of 3 storeys, with set back parts, of 3:1:0:1 windows: the 3 windows of the ground floor infill a former 3 arch colonnade.
