Main building has plinth, and 12-pane sash windows in moulded architraves, the ground-floor windows being larger. Bay 3 of the west wing (Carmelite House) has a 6-panel door with 3-pane rectangular fanlight set in a moulded architrave, the principal entrance has a segmental-arched recess with baseless Doric columns set on a podium, two in antics, behind this a pair of wide 3-panel doors with architrave, flanked by 8-pane sash windows. Above the entrance is a composite sash window of 3+9+3 panes, in an architrave. The east wing (East House) has three 16-pane sash windows in plain openings to the ground floor, above which are four C20 small-pane casement windows. Entrance to East House is through a C20 extension at the rear. INTERIOR: much adapted in conversion, but the original central stairway, entrance hall, many doorcases, ceiling cornices, etc are retained. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: extending from the left of the main entrance and returning eastwards along the line of the pavement at about 2m from building is a section of C19 railings with necked rail tops, and urn finials to standards, then comes a lower ashlar stone wall with segmental topped coping, with a return in random rubble work with a thicker coping back t the NE corner of the building. At this point there is a large segmental-arched coach entrance in ashlar stonework, with top and coping dressed into the side gable of No.9 (qv), this combines to enhance the setting the building and the street scene.
