The main range has doorways, between the narrow and broad through-storey canted bays flanking the centrepice, set back in recessed porches with stone faced splayed sides and pent roofs over, carried on shallow segmental stone arches between the canted bays. Varied fenestration expresses interior distribution with cross-mullioned segmental arched casements above the porches, 2 light casements to the narrow canted bays, small stairlights,and tripartite and single glazing bar sashes to the centre piece and the broader canted bays contained in through-storey, shallow semicircular arched recesses.
