The service rooms comprise the rear portion of the main block, and are divided from the principal rooms by a corridor to each floor, set lengthwise, and served by stairs at either end. Front and service rooms are heated by lateral stacks, the middle rooms by axial stacks placed to either side of the main stairs. Courtyard and ancillary buildings lie behind the main block. Front bays and antechamber to porch probably a little later. 2 storeys. Exterior: parapet with moulded cornice throughout. Front: symmetrical, 3 bays. Central bay, with 1 first floor 12-pane hornless sash window, with a portico of 4 Ionic columns and a central panelled door with pilasters and rectangular overlight.
