projecting gabled entrance bay to the east has a Tudor-arched
door beneath a 3-light oriel window with stone mullions and
parapet, and a C20 window to the attic; the coped gable has a
finial and pendant. The right return of this bay has a right
wing which is now the entrance to the upper floors and the
stair well, both with stacks.

3-light windows to a 2-storey canted bay with parapet. To the
right is a large square castellated tower with a 1st-floor
oriel window similar to that at the front, 3-light
stone-mullioned windows to the upper stage, a castellated
octagonal turret to the rear north-west corner and similar
smaller turrets to south and east. Tall 2-light windows with
wooden mullions and transoms, those to the ground floor have
label moulds. C20 dormer.
INTERIOR: walls to the interior of the ground floor are approx
1m thick with moulded cornices, panelled friezes, reveals and
soffits to panelled doors, and high skirting boards. Window
frames have richly-moulded frames and glazing bars. The
spectacular high entrance hall has a panelled ceiling with
pendants leading through a wide segmental arch to a vaulted
passage to the large stairwell to the right (now in a separate
dwelling). The circular 1st-floor landing has 4-panel doors to
the rooms, one to the south has a white marble Egyptian-style
fireplace.
An interesting Gothic Revival villa designed in the
Picturesque tradition and distinguished by its Baronial-style
tower and a fine interior.
