added at the western corner is of flint with brick dressings;
roofs of slate, Lakeland slate to the tower, Welsh and
asbestos slate elsewhere. On the outer side the round-arched
carriage entrance has been rebuilt in yellow brick with the
remains of a red-brick soldier-arch above; it is flanked by
flat-arched windows, with 3 segmental-arched windows above and
a brick dentil cornice; pyramidal roof now lacking its finial;
the wings to either side have small louvred openings, one
segmental-arched window to the western end, and 2 loft doors
breaking through the eaves under hipped roofs.
On the inner side, the carriage entrance has a keystone marked
with the Pelham buckle; the ground-floor openings are a
mixture of lunette windows and round- and segmental-arched
entrances, some now altered; there were segmental-arched
carriage entrances at the ends of the wings, both of which are
now altered and that to the east now blocked; storey band; the
upper windows of the tower flat-arched; the parapet of the
side wings interrupted by flat-arched dormer windows.
