elliptical arch. To its right is a timber canted bay window
with sashes, possibly a later C19 alteration. On the 1st floor

band. Chimney at left. The left-hand gable wall, facing
Lightburn Road, is slate-hung.
INTERIOR: the door panels have borders formed by applied

entrance hall from the rear stair hall, which contains a
dogleg geometrical stair with open string, mahogany stick
balusters, and a wreathed handrail. Both ground-floor front
rooms contain marble fireplace surrounds. On the 1st floor are
